The Trump administration has enacted significant cuts to federal funding for universities as part of a crackdown on DEI initiatives and anti-semitism on campuses. This has resulted in many institutions implementing hiring freezes or layoffs due to the loss of billions in funding. Notably, Columbia University lost $400 million in federal contracts for allegedly mishandling anti-semitism issues, leading to drastic measures aimed at restoring funding. A warning letter was sent to 60 universities highlighting potential investigations if adequate protections for Jewish students were not enforced.
Columbia University was stripped of $400 million worth of federal contracts and grants after the Trump administration accused the university of mishandling its response to harassment against Jewish students.
The Department of Education issued a letter in March to 60 higher education institutions, including a few Ivy League schools, warning them of potential probes if they do not do more to protect Jewish students.
