George Washington Is Latest University Targeted by Trump

The Department of Justice has accused George Washington University of violating federal civil rights law during pro-Palestinian student protests last year. This makes the university the latest target in the Trump administration's campaign to exert control over US colleges. The DOJ claims the university failed to protect the free speech rights of students who opposed the protests. This is part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to crack down on what it perceives as anti-Israel bias on college campuses. The case highlights the ongoing tensions between free speech, student activism, and the government's involvement in higher education. While the details are still emerging, the decision signals the Trump administration's continued focus on this issue and its willingness to use federal authority to shape the discourse on college campuses.
