During a recent event in Washington, D.C., President-elect Donald Trump announced that all universities in the United States must address antisemitism or face the loss of accreditation and federal support. Trump emphasized that his administration would take action within the first week of his presidency, stating, "We will not subsidize the creation of terrorist sympathizers, and we’re not going to do it – certainly on American soil." He reiterated that university leaders would be informed of these consequences if they do not eliminate antisemitic propaganda from their campuses. This declaration comes amid increasing scrutiny of antisemitism in educational institutions.
