Trump administration cuts Columbia's funding, demands policy changes
vox.com —
The Trump administration recently canceled $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University. Officials demanded the university implement significant policy changes or risk losing more funding. The demands include strict penalties for protesters, changes in governance, and a complete overhaul of the admissions process. Legal experts suggest these actions may not be lawful, as cutting funding for civil rights violations requires a lengthy process. Columbia has not yet challenged the decision in court.
