A couple of local universities find themselves on the wrong side of the Trump administration’s crackdown on DEI and antisemitism.

Indiana University Bloomington is one of 60 schools under investigation for antisemitism. These schools stand accused of allowing—and, in some cases, facilitating—discrimination against Jewish students and faculty. IU Bloomington didn’t receive as much national attention as schools like Columbia, but the campus was the site of pro-Palestinian protests last year, even briefly imposing a curfew.

“The Department is deeply disappointed that Jewish students studying on elite U.S. campuses continue to fear for their safety amid the relentless antisemitic eruptions that have severely disrupted campus life for more than a year. University leaders must do better,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon. “U.S. colleges and universities benefit from enormous public investments funded by U.S. taxpayers. That support is a privilege, and it is contingent on scrupulous adherence to federal antidiscrimination laws.”

Notre Dame was one of 45 schools sent a Dear Colleague letter urging them to “end the use of racial preferences and stereotypes in education programs and activities,” though the public letter laid out no specific allegations.

“…today’s announcement expands our efforts to ensure universities are not discriminating against their students based on race and race stereotypes,” said McMahon. “Students must be assessed according to merit and accomplishment, not prejudged by the color of their skin.”

IU Bloomington and Notre Dame are just the latest in a long line of schools that have caught the attention of the Department of Education in its efforts to crack down on what the Trump administration refers to as “wokeness” in policy. Critics argue that the investigations are politically driven and have a chilling effect on free speech and diversity efforts.
