From The Free Press: The Trump administration is cutting off $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University, claiming it has failed to take steps to confront antisemitism on campus after Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack on Israel, The Free Press has learned. The cuts represent the federal government’s first round of grant cancellations for Columbia, according to the administration’s newly formed antisemitism task force, which is leading the effort. Columbia has over $5 billion in active federal grants that are being reviewed by the government...
The Trump administration's announcement about Columbia comes days after the Department of Justice opened a civil rights investigation into the University of California system, a move first reported by The Free Press. The system’s schools “may be engaged in certain employment practices that discriminate against employees who are or are perceived to be Jewish or Israeli,” said DOJ officials in the letter sent to the UC system.
