The US Department of Education sent letters to 60 colleges and universities it says are under investigation for alleged violations of Title VI .

Six of the eight Ivy League universities received letters, including Columbia University and Harvard University .

The announcement comes amid mounting pressure on university administrators to rein in pro-Palestinian demonstrations.

“The US government has made clear that they will use immigration enforcement as a tool to suppress that speech.” It’s unclear how long many of the institutions have been under investigation, but the Office for Civil Rights on Friday directed its personnel to prioritize addressing a “backlog” of complaints alleging antisemitic violence and harassment. CNN ’s Michelle Watson , Alaa Elassar , Priscilla Alvarez , Gloria Pazmino and Artemis Moshtaghian contributed to this report..
