An executive order from President Trump promoting a federal crackdown on campus antisemitism and his threats to cancel visas of pro-Palestinian international students have put California university leaders and activists on alert after many of the nation's largest and most contentious protests unfolded at their schools.

The Department of Education is launching an investigation into U.S. universities “where widespread antisemitic harassment has been reported."

The U.S. Department of Education announced Monday it is opening investigations into five universities – including the University of Minnesota – where the agency says “widespread antisemitism harassment” has been reported.

The University of Minnesota is under investigation by the Department of Education for reported antisemitism on its campus.
