What was the regulation that Columbia was alleged to have violated?

Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.

  • Yep. It's also worth noting that Trump didn't invent these charges. Many Jewish students sued, and the university president admitted:

    > I know that many of our Jewish students, and other students as well, have found the atmosphere intolerable in recent weeks. Many have left campus, and that is a tragedy.

    ...

    > The encampment has created an unwelcoming environment for many of our Jewish students and faculty. External actors have contributed to creating a hostile environment in violation of Title VI, especially around our gates, that is unsafe for everyone—including our neighbors.
