Rutgers and Princeton universities are being warned of the consequences they may face if they don’t protect Jewish students from harassment and discrimination.

The Department of Education just sent letters to 60 universities with the warning.

It comes after the Trump administration pulled $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University over pro-Palestinian protests that rocked the campus.

A congressional committee called out Rutgers University last year for what it called “pervasive antisemitism.”

"Rutgers continues to honor a voluntary agreement reached with the DOE Office for Civil Rights that includes wide-ranging efforts to continue fostering a campus environment free of antisemitism,” a spokesperson for Rutgers wrote in a statement.
