A group of House Republicans is demanding a reexamining of existing college accreditation standards, in particular regarding Columbia University.
FIRST ON FOX: House Republicans are urging a top college accreditation board to reevaluate its standards for Columbia University as a top academic institution in the wake of anti-Israel campus protests there and around the country. Rep. Rich McCormick, R-Ga.
McCormick accused Columbia of becoming a hotbed for antisemitism in the wake of Hamas' Oct. 7, 2023, terror attack in Israel. 'Jewish students have been made to feel unsafe and have been subject to harassment and even physical violence by pro-Hamas student protesters and faculty,' he said.
Columbia University no longer upholds the accreditation standards outlined by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education. We urge you to reevaluate Columbia Universities’ accreditation based on their incompliance with Standard II: Ethics and Integrity, Standard III: Design and Delivery of the Student Learning Experience, and Standard IV: Support of the Student Experience,' the letter said.
Quality standards are a defining hallmark of effective higher education institutions, and we must ensure American tax dollars are not being sent to institutions incapable of upholding them.' Fox News Digital reached out to Columbia University for comment.
