Education Secretary Miguel Cardona on Tuesday condemned pro-Palestinian protests and antisemitism on college campuses across the country as “abhorrent.”

“I think what’s happening on our campuses is abhorrent,” Cardona testified to a Senatepanel. “Hate has no place on our campuses, and I’m very concerned with the reports of antisemitism.”

Pressed by Sen. Shelley Moore Capito , Cardona declined to say that any specific institutions were in jeopardy of having federal funds revoked but said they could be if any school “refuses to comply” with Title VI. The Biden administration is seeking a $22 million increase for the purpose of hiring more investigators to conclude their open cases as part of next year’s education budget, according to Cardona. He maintained that given their current resources, the administration is adequately upholding Title VI.

Asked Monday whether the White House supported peaceful protesters being suspended or removed from schools, along with their more violent peers, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that determination is best left to the individual institutions.
