Columbia University caves to demands to return $400m from Trump administration amid anti-Semitism row

Columbia University has agreed to a series of changes demanded by the Trump administration as a condition for restoring $400 million in federal funding, which the government withdrew this month amid allegations that the school tolerated anti-Semitism on campus.

    1. The way Columbia and Columbians have been portrayed is hard to reckon with. We have challenges, yes, but they do not define us.
    2. We are a community of scholars who have deep respect for each other and our mission. We teach the brightest, most creative students in the world, and we care deeply for each and every one of them. I have every faith in our ability to overcome the greatest of challenges. We stand resilient and brilliant.

    1. Universities must comply with all federal antidiscrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus. Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer.
    2. Since October 7, Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-semitic harassment on their campuses—only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them.

    1. Rather than supporting law enforcement efforts, they often function as internal adversaries that slow down operations.
    2. These offices have obstructed immigration enforcement by adding bureaucratic hurdles and undermining D.H.S.'s mission.
