Columbia University, Trump administration reach deal over funding

NEW YORK CITY, JUL 24 – Columbia agreed to pay $221 million to resolve federal probes into antisemitism claims and restore most federal grants, while implementing disciplinary and curriculum reforms, officials said.

  • On Wednesday, Columbia University announced it will pay over $220 million to the federal government to restore canceled research funding and implement campus reforms.
  • Facing funding cuts, the Trump administration used grants as leverage, withdrawing over failure to address antisemitism during the Israel-Hamas war, as Columbia’s antisemitism task force found.
  • Under the settlement, Columbia agreed to overhaul student disciplinary process and adopt a broader definition of antisemitism, including sharing disciplinary records of student-visa holders with the federal government.
  • Columbia said it will reinstate most federal grants paused in March, establishing Bart Schwartz as independent monitor and prompting `This agreement marks an important step forward after a period of sustained federal scrutiny and institutional uncertainty,` Columbia's acting president Claire Shipman said.
  • Other institutions may face scrutiny, as the Trump administration’s campaign targets higher education, with a similar investigation opened this month at George Mason University.
