The Trump administration has warned Columbia University of potentially withdrawing over $50 million in federal contracts due to the school's alleged inaction toward anti-Israel protests affecting Jewish students. This action comes amid an ongoing investigation into civil rights violations, prompted by rising anti-Semitism on college campuses since the Israel-Hamas conflict escalated. Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Education Secretary Linda McMahon stressed the importance of addressing these issues, while Columbia announced its commitment to combating antisemitism and hopes to collaborate with federal officials.
Anti-Semitism - like racism - is a spiritual and moral malady that sickens societies and kills people with lethalities comparable to history's most deadly plagues.
Columbia is fully committed to combatting antisemitism and all forms of discrimination, and we are resolute that calling for, promoting, or glorifying violence or terror has no place at our University.
