Education Sec. Cardona on whether what's happening to Jewish students at Columbia & other colleges & universities is okay:"Absolutely not. I think what's happening on our campuses is abhorrent. Hate has no place on our campuses & I'm very concerned w/the reports of antisemitism."
Image
Cardona:"I've spoken to Jewish students who have feared going to class as a result of some of the harassment that they're facing on campuses. It's unacceptable and we're committed as a Department of Education to adhering to Titile VI enforcement. We have 137 open cases."
Cardona: "We take this very seriously. We've increased the number of communications to college campuses to make sure that they have what they need in terms of the law and best practices on how they make sure they're protecting students."
