The Trump administration is reportedly pursuing a legal arrangement that would allow the federal government to enforce Columbia's compliance with its policies on antisemitism.

Federal officials have begun contacting University of California faculty members for an antisemitism probe after the school complied with a subpoena from the Trump administration seeking the personal information of around 900 faculty members, two UC employees with knowledge of the situation told POLITICO.

The DHS policy applies to people seeking permanent residency as well as foreign nationals connected to educational institutions.

The president, intensifying his conflict with elite universities, is reportedly pursuing a consent decree that would legally force Columbia to comply with his agenda.

The Trump administration is discussing asking a judge to enforce any deal it reaches with the school, which the White House says has not done enough to address antisemitism.

In an unusual move, the government is aiming to legally bind the school to changes as they negotiate over federal funding.
