Trump Admin Cancels $400M In Grants To Columbia U

NBC News reports:

The Trump administration on Friday announced that they would cancel approximately $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University “due to the school’s continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students.”

The move comes just days after the administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism notified Columbia that it was going to conduct a “comprehensive review” of the university’s federal grants and contracts.

The task force includes staffers from the Justice Department, Health and Human Services Department, Education Department and the U.S. General Services Administration. In a statement explaining the cancellation of certain federal grants Friday, Education Secretary Linda McMahon implied that Columbia had not complied with federal anti-discrimination laws.
