Anti-Semitism as a pretext? Columbia University pays $221 million to US government (DLF 25.07.25) [courtesy translation]
"Whether Harvard, Cornell, or Columbia, many elite US universities had hundreds of millions of dollars in funding cut after Trump took office. The reason, according to the US government, was a lack of commitment to combating anti-Semitism on campus. This primarily involved protests related to the Middle East conflict. Now, some are trying to calm the situation and curry favor with the government. Columbia University in New York announced on Tuesday that it would sanction nearly 80 of the protesters, discontinue diversity programs, and pay a $220 million fine."
