Trump admin wants to put Columbia under federal oversight: report

After Columbia University has taken steps to align the demands of President Donald Trump regarding anti -Semitism on its university campus, and according to the Trump administration, the Trump administration wanted to take additional steps to ensure that Colombia does not falter.

The sources in the administration leaked to the Wall Street Journal that it is following a legal arrangement, known as the approval decree, that creates a detailed compliance agreement for the court to ensure that Colombia continues to align its policies and practices with the executive directives on the anti -heavenly anti -Tram.

After facing the threat of a loss of $ 400 million in federal funding to its response to the alleged anti -Semitism on its university campus, Colombia has taken steps to review its policies and practices. These changes included their protest policies, the expansion of the school’s Jewish studies program, the development of the school’s Middle East studies program under new supervision, and amendments to disciplinary procedures for students and more.

To ensure these recent changes, the Trump administration is said to be transferred to the entry of the approval decree, which can put Colombia in contempt for the court if the judge decides that the school does not correspond to the administration’s directives.

Such violations can lead to more monetary sanctions of Colombia. While the Trump administration said that Colombia was on the “right track” to restore $ 400 million of federal financing, no official announcement was issued indicating that it was.

The approval decree should be voluntary, so Colombia should be a partner who wants to arrange. Fox News Digital communicated with Colombia to comment, and inquire whether the school plans to enter voluntarily in the approval decree, but it did not receive a time in time to publish. Colombia can fight this step in court if it chooses.

Approval decrees are not an unusual tool for a management to ensure the implementation of its policy priorities. During the era of former President Joe Biden, the government entered into arrangements for the approval of the police departments to ensure that it was carrying out criminal justice reforms required for the president. Biden also followed these legal arrangements with various universities, including Brown and Rutgers, regarding anti -Semitism concerns after Hamas’s attack on October 7, 2023, in Israel, according to the Wall Street Journal.
