Columbia president: 180 jobs lost due to Trump administration funding cuts
- Columbia University announced it will lay off nearly 180 staffers following President Trump's March cancellation of $400 million in federal funding.

- Officials are negotiating with the Trump administration to restore funding, but Columbia will scale back research and reduce spending amid ongoing budget uncertainty.
