Education department threatens to remove accreditation due to antisemitism. No accreditation means no students can get federal student loans…..

Sometimes the best way to deal with others is to give them a good dose of their own medicine.

The U.S. 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.

Pursuant to President Trump’s Executive Order, Reforming Accreditation to Strengthen Higher Education, the Department has an obligation to promptly provide accreditors with any noncompliance findings related to member institutions.

The Commission’s “Standards for Accreditation and Requirements of Affiliation” state that “a candidate or accredited institution possesses or demonstrates ... compliance with all applicable government laws and regulations.” In light of OCR’s determination, Columbia University no longer appears to meet the Commission’s accreditation standards.

LSU should poach some of Columbia’s students, if they can hack the higher academic standards.

I've yet to see an accurate Zero Hedge headline in my life. I don't know why people still follow and repost them. The National Enquirer has more credibility.

Both statements can be true. DOE has notified the Middle States accrediting agency (SACS here in God's country) that Columbia is in violation.

I expect the Middle States accrediting agency to ignore, but theres that. Trump admin is trying to move accreditation from the regional accreditors, so that is something to watch.

On Wednesday, far-right news site Zero Hedge claimed without evidence that a scientist at the Wuhan Institute of Virology created the strain of the virus that has led the World Health Organization to declare a global health emergency.
