The Trump administration has canceled $400 million in grants and contracts to Columbia University, citing the institution's failure to address anti-Semitism on campus.
The decision comes amid ongoing protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict, with officials accusing the university of not doing enough to protect Jewish students. President Trump has signaled that further funding cuts to other institutions may follow. The move has sparked controversy, with critics arguing it is politically motivated and could set a precedent for federal intervention in university affairs.
Columbia University has yet to respond in detail to the funding withdrawal.
