President Trump has threatened to withdraw federal funding from universities that permit what he calls "illegal protests." This marks an escalation in his administration's stance against campuses perceived as hubs of dissent. Backed by executive orders from January, this recent declaration includes harsh measures against agitators, particularly those involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, which he asserts threaten campus safety. Trump’s defense of these actions has been supported by figures such as US Ambassador to the UN Elise Stefanik, who emphasizes a zero-tolerance policy for antisemitism on campuses.
Trump's new threat to withdraw federal funding from universities is aimed at curbing protests he deems illegal, specifically targeting those critical of Israel.
Elise Stefanik reiterated Trump's intent, stating that antisemitism will not be tolerated in universities, framing the crackdown as accountability for schools.
