Trump’s threat to pull funding forces Columbia to change

Columbia University took demands from the Trump administration in an attempt to restore $ 400 million of federal financing that was extracted on how the school processing anti -Semitism on the campus.

Ivy League agreed to ban masks for the purpose of hiding identity, enabling 36 university campus police officers with new authorities to arrest students and appoint a senior deputy to a wide authority to supervise the Ministry of Middle East, South Asia and Africa, as well as the Palestinian Studies Center.

The sources familiar with the negotiations told Fox News that meeting the demands does not mean that Colombia will receive $ 400 million of financing, but this is just a pre -condition for opening talks.

In a message, Katrina Armstrong, the interim of Colombia, said that the agreement “determines the objective work” that the university has done over the past academic year.

She said: “The way in which Colombia and the Colombian were difficult to calculate. We have challenges, yes, but they do not specify us.” “We teach the most creative students in the world, and we care deeply for each of them. I have every belief in our ability to overcome the greatest challenges. We stand flexible and wonderful.”

Colombia became the center of anti -Israel protests after Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7, 2023. Strangers and faculty students expressed their opposition to Israel during the demonstrations that sometimes led to clashes with the police and control over the campus buildings.

Meanwhile, Jewish students expressed their concerns about anti -Semitism on the New York City campus, as well as harassment and disruption of classes and events by the demonstrators.

Earlier this month, the Trump administration canceled $ 400 million in grants and contracts from school for failing to address anti -Semitism on the campus.

“Since October 7, Jewish students have faced uncomfortable violence, intimidation and anti-Semitic harassment on their university campus-only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them,” said Linda McMahon, Minister of Education, at the time.

“Universities must comply with all federal anti -discrimination laws if they will receive federal financing,” she added. “For a long time, Colombia has abandoned this commitment to the Jewish students studying on its university campus. Today, we explain to Colombia and other universities that we will not tolerate their terrible failure anymore.”
