Accreditation politics hit elite US campuses: Harvard joins Columbia under federal scrutiny

The Trump administration has placed Harvard University under federal scrutiny over alleged civil rights violations, joining Columbia University in a wider crackdown on elite US campuses. The move threatens their accreditation status, which is critical for access to federal funding. Critics argue the administration is politicising the accreditation process, traditionally focused on educational quality. Harvard and Columbia now face intense reviews that could reshape the future of higher education oversight in the US.
