Along with Columbia and Berkeley, the department is now investigating the University of Minnesota, Northwestern University and Portland State University.

House Republicans applauded the new investigations. Rep. Tim Walberg, chair of the Education and Workforce Committee, said he was “glad that we finally have an administration who is taking action to protect Jewish students.” Last week’s order drew backlash from civil rights groups who said it violated First Amendment rights that protect political speech.
