"Columbia University agreed to President Trump's demands to potentially secure reinstatement of $400 million in federal grants rescinded due to claims of failing to combat anti-Semitism."
"Columbia faces the dilemma of prioritizing federal funding amidst an atmosphere of scrutiny over anti-Palestinian sentiment, following pro-Palestine demonstrations that drew national attention."
Columbia University is complying with President Donald Trump's demands to potentially regain $400 million in federal grants he recently rescinded, citing the schoolâs inadequate action against anti-Semitism on campus. Amid pressures from pro-Palestine demonstrations and congressional scrutiny, Columbia has agreed to initiatives such as a ban on masks and empowering campus police with increased authority. Despite being one of the wealthiest universities, Columbiaâs dependence on federal funds raises concerns about its operational viability. The universityâs administration considered legal action but opted for compliance to avoid further complications.
