The U.S. Education Department said Wednesday that Columbia University has failed to meet the standards for accreditation because it “is in violation of federal antidiscrimination laws.”

The Education Department said that it has notified the Middle States Commission on Higher Education, which is an accrediting institution that Columbia belongs to, of the alleged violation.

The department noted that federal regulations, “accreditors are required to notify any member institution about a federal noncompliance finding and establish a plan to come into compliance.”

“If a university fails to come into compliance within a specified *******, an accreditor must take appropriate action against its member institution,” the department said.
