Trump May Seek Judicial Oversight of Columbia, Potentially for Years
Briefly

The Trump administration is exploring the enforcement of a consent decree with Columbia University to maintain oversight over the institution's dealings. This move comes after the administration canceled approximately $400 million in grants, citing unaddressed harassment of Jewish students.

While Columbia's spokesperson has not confirmed discussions around the decree, the university is actively seeking a restoration of critical research funding from the federal government.
