  • Columbia University's interim president said the school is working to address the "legitimate concerns" of U.S. President Donald Trump's administration after $400 million of federal government grants and contracts to the university were canceled over allegations of antisemitism on campus.

Columbia University has committed to addressing concerns raised by the Trump administration following the decision to pull approximately $400 million in federal funding. This action was taken after the university was accused of not adequately addressing anti-Semitism on campus. The Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights had been investigating Columbia for several months, focusing on incidents where Jewish students reported feeling unsafe and discriminated against. In response, Columbia University's President, Minouche Shafik, issued a statement expressing the institution's dedication to combating anti-Semitism and ensuring a safe environment for all students. The university plans to review its policies, enhance training programs, and improve its response mechanisms to hate incidents. This situation underscores the ongoing national debate about free speech versus hate speech on college campuses.
