The Department of Education will investigate five universities for allegations of antisemitism on their campuses. 

The department will investigate Columbia University, Northwestern University, Portland State University, the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities. The move came after students and outsiders at dozens of universities across the country created encampments on campus in favor of the boycott, divest, sanction movement, which asked for universities to divest from any entity associated with Israel.
