The Trump administration has decided to withhold approximately $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University due to allegations of inadequate response to harassment of Jewish students, as announced by Education Secretary Linda McMahon. This decision follows a notification from the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, which plans a comprehensive review of the university's compliance with federal antidiscrimination laws. Columbia University has not yet responded to these allegations, and the outcome of the review could significantly impact its federal funding and operations, highlighting the national focus on educational institutions' responsibilities in addressing discrimination.
