The Trump administration has issued a letter threatening to withdraw federal funding from Columbia University unless it undertakes various reforms in its International Studies department. This includes placing the Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under academic receivership for at least five years. Additionally, the university must ban identity-concealing masks, redefine antisemitism, and reform its disciplinary processes. The deadline for compliance is 30 days, coinciding with the cancellation of $400 million in federal grants. This move is part of broader investigations into racial discrimination in universities, according to the Secretary of Education.
