Campus crackdown: US education department threatens Columbia University's accreditation; cites antisemitism concerns
Columbia University campus (File photo) The US administration led by President Donald Trump has intensified its conflict with Columbia University, stating that the institution fails to meet accreditation criteria due to inadequate protection of Jewish students. "After Hamas' October 7, 2023, terror attack on Israel, Columbia University's leadership acted with deliberate indifference towards the harassment of Jewish students on its campus," stated US Secretary of Education Linda McMahon on Wednesday. The Office for Civil Rights at the US Department of Education announced Wednesday that it had informed the Middle States Commission on Higher Education about Columbia University's alleged Title VI Civil Rights Act violation, as per an Education Department release. "The US Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) today notified Middle States Commission on Higher Education (the Commission) that its member institution, Columbia University, is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws and therefore fails to meet the standards for accreditation set by the Commission," stated the release. The federal body claimed that the university appears to no longer satisfy the commission's accreditation requirements. The comes as the US government escalates its scrutiny of elite academic institutions regarding allegations of widespread antisemitism and progressive prejudice. According to Columbia's website, accreditation, administered by non-profit organisations, is essential for university students to access federal funding, including grants and loans. "We look forward to the Commission keeping the Department fully informed of actions taken to ensure Columbia's compliance with accreditation standards including compliance with federal civil rights laws," McMahon added to her statement. The Middle States Commission on Higher Education acknowledged, to CNN, the receipt of Wednesday's letter. Columbia faced accusations last month of breaching federal civil rights law through "deliberate indifference" to Jewish student harassment since October 7, 2023, corresponding with Hamas's attack and Israel's subsequent military response in Gaza. A Columbia representative characterised these findings as progression in their collaborative efforts with the government to address antisemitism on campus. This forms part of the federal government's Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism initiatives, established following Trump's February executive order. Trump further addressed college accreditation through an April executive order, directing the education secretary to ensure accreditors' accountability through various measures for poor performance or Civil Rights Act violations, as detailed by a White House official to CNN. The Education Department confirmed Wednesday its responsibility to inform accreditors about member institutions' non-compliance findings, in accordance with Trump's executive order. Leading US universities, including Columbia, face substantial pressure from the administration to implement policy changes or risk losing federal support. In March, Columbia implemented comprehensive policy changes after the administration threatened to withdraw $400 million in grants and contracts over alleged insufficient action against campus antisemitism.

Alternative to choke points, IMEC strategic necessity for India in changing world order—MEA
'Historical choke points like Gibraltar, the Malacca Strait, Panama Canal, and the Red Sea have shown us that disruption is inevitable when access is concentrated [at specific points],' he said, adding that the IMEC offered a necessary alternative in an increasingly uncertain global landscape. Speaking at the Chintan Research Foundation-hosted IMEC conference in New Delhi on Wednesday, Ravi highlighted how global crises, such as the Russia-Ukraine war, had exposed critical vulnerabilities in existing supply chains. New Delhi: The government sees the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor (IMEC) as a strategic imperative for its future economic and geopolitical ambitions, said Dammu Ravi, Secretary (Economic Relations), Ministry of External Affairs (MEA). 'IMEC is the starting point for India. On the western front, it starts from India, [then] UAE, Saudi, Jordan, Israel, Greece [France and Italy]—there are seven important countries here,' he said. 'On the eastern front is the trilateral island, so you have India, Myanmar, Thailand, and connecting to ASEAN. These are very important. Actually, from a strategic point of view, IMEC is very critical for India.' Strategic necessity in a changing world India's economic aspirations, a projected $30 trillion GDP by 2047, require robust external connectivity, said Ravi. The economic secretary also argued that corridors such as IMEC, as well as the Trilateral Highway, would be vital to support India's industrial ambitions. 'We are at just three percent of global manufacturing compared to China's 30 percent. As we scale up, these corridors will become essential platforms for trade and supply chains,' he added. Also Read: IMEC a 'channel of peace' says Greek minister, plays up growing ties with 'inviolable partner' India India's digital & infrastructure advantage Ravi laid his emphasis on India's competitive edge in building low-cost infrastructure, including ports, highways, railways, and airports, alongside its pioneering Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI). 'Digitally connecting IMEC is a first-mover opportunity for India,' he said. 'These are low-cost, scaleable solutions we can lead.' He argued that IMEC would not be just a trade route but a multimodal economic corridor, integrating energy grids, digital systems, and transport infrastructure. 'It is a chance to bring in investment and boost manufacturing along the corridor and expand markets into the hinterland.' While countries such as China have advanced the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) through centralised control and $1 trillion investment in deep funds, democracies must navigate a slower, consensus-driven process, Ravi said, noting under-development models like EU's Global Gateway Forum and the US-led Global Partnership for Infrastructure Investment. 'Democracies debate, deliberate, and move slower, but collaboration is our strength,' Ravi said, calling for a multilateral approach to IMEC. He floated the idea of an IMEC Fund to support execution over time and proposed the creation of an IMEC Secretariat to ensure coordination, timelines, and project continuity. Geopolitical hurdles & role of diplomacy Ravi acknowledged the geopolitical headwind facing the project—from sanctioned Russia and Iran to politically unstable Myanmar. 'These are challenges we must engage with diplomatically. Every participating country's foreign office needs to be actively involved,' he said. He also warned against internal economic resistance, urging Indian industries to see the corridor as an opportunity, not a threat. 'We will need to build narratives that reassure domestic players while keeping the long-term benefits in view. Also, you need a Secretariat for the IMEC. You need to have a coordinating mechanism, without which you will not be able to have timelines, and you will not be able to fulfil your objectives with clarity, ' he added. In conclusion, Ravi positioned IMEC not as a competitor to existing trade routes such as the Suez Canal but as a complementary system. 'Multiple routes mean greater resilience. IMEC is not about replacing but expanding global trade possibilities,' he said, adding that one should not see IMEC 'as a competitor to the Suez Canal; rather, it is a complementary trade route'.
