NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 24 – The $200 million settlement resolves federal probe into Columbia University's grant and financial management failures, marking one of the largest penalties against a university, officials said.
- On Monday, Columbia University announced the settlement, resolving longstanding federal fund investigations.
- Due to shortcomings in financial reporting and program management, the university faced a $400 million research funding freeze, prompting the settlement.
- Columbia University regained critical research funding worth nearly $500 million, with $21 million set aside for discrimination claims.
- Rep. Jerry Nadler said he was `deeply disappointed` in the capitulation, while critics labeled leaders `cowards` and `bowing down to authoritarianism`.
- Looking ahead, this settlement underscores sector challenges amid regulatory scrutiny, as the administration continues disputes with Harvard and other universities.
