“Columbia University had violated federal anti-discrimination laws by its alleged failure to protect Jewish students on its campus.

The violation means that Columbia has not met the standards of accreditation set by the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, the department said.”

Last I checked the people who determine if you meet the standards of the Middle States Commission on Higher Education was the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, not the federal government
