Northwestern University and four other schools are being investigated by the Trump Administration's Department of Education for what it calls "widespread antisemitic harassment" in the wake of large pro-Palestinian protests that broke out on Northwestern's and other campuses last spring.

Under Trump's direction, the DOE will investigate Northwestern University, Portland State University, University of California, Berkley and University of Minnesota, Twin Cities alongside Columbia.

The Education Department announced Monday that it would conduct investigations at five universities where antisemitic harassment incidents have been reported.
