 Trump administration yanks $400M in grants, contracts from Columbia University over antisemitism on campus

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration yanked roughly $400 million in grants and contracts from Columbia University on Friday, citing the school’s noncompliance with anti-discrimination laws.

The funding cancellation comes after months of antisemitic harassment and intimidation on the Morningside Heights campus — with pro-Hamas slogans proclaimed by demonstrators and the NYPD eventually being called in to restore order last April.

“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,” said Secretary of Education Linda McMahon in a statement.

Columbia let antisemitism run amok to cater to lunatic fringe and paid provocateurs.
Leadership allowed those assholes to take over the campus and terrorize Jewish students.
Now, Columbia pays for its failure and I support that.

Agreed! I'm surprised that Fetterman is actually the Dem somewhat sane voice. It makes me furious that these people are terrorizing other students marching around in terrorist garb. If the colleges allow this then there should be no federal funding.

In before the chorus of "He's a Rat, not to be trusted"  But he has his head right on this and a few other common sense issues his lame ass party is out-of-touch on.
You don’t become cooler with age but you do care progressively less about being cool, which is the only true way to actually be cool.

Oh no! What will Columbia possibly do if it doesn't get half a billion dollars in taxpayer money?!

Columbia professor Jennifer Manly marched with pro-Hamas encampment leaders and, according to public records, has been a recipient of $100 million in taxpayer funding for CRT-style research, which claims that racism causes Alzheimer's in black people.
