U.S. universities adjust policies following funding threats

U.S. universities are responding to funding threats from the White House by changing their policies regarding pro-Palestine activities. Harvard fired a librarian for removing a poster at a rally, while Yale placed a scholar on leave over alleged ties to a sanctioned group. Cornell University is considering suspending a student group for disrupting an event, and UCLA has launched a new initiative to address antisemitism after past controversies. Columbia University is also taking action against students involved in a building occupation during protests last year. These developments mark a significant shift in how these institutions handle protests and related issues, following increased scrutiny from the federal government.
