- Federal authorities acknowledged the university's swift condemnation and law enforcement's quick response to the violence but emphasized that the institution needs to take further steps to create a secure and supportive environment for Jewish students.
- HHS Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Stated that any institution allowing violence, bullying, or intimidation against Jewish students should not anticipate receiving billions in federal funding.
