The Trump administration's recent decision to cut approximately $400 million in funding from Columbia University has raised significant concerns and confusion. While specific details on the cuts remain vague, it has been reported that the National Institutes of Health has rescinded over $250 million in grants, affecting various projects, particularly in the medical school. Faculty members, including Joshua A. Gordon, are struggling to grasp the full impact of these terminations, as they hinder essential training and support. The administration's move is cited as a response to the university's handling of harassment allegations against Jewish students.
"The Trump administration said this unprecedented $400 million cut was due to Columbia's 'continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.'"},{
