Trump Admin Considers Decree to Control Columbia University
Tap title to read story
The Trump administration is considering a consent decree to solidify any agreement reached with Columbia University following the cancellation of $400 million in grants and contracts. The administration accuses Columbia of insufficient action against antisemitism on campus. A decree would grant the White House significant influence over the university's operations for years and could set a precedent for similar actions with other institutions. However, a deal hasn't been finalized, and implementing a decree would be a lengthy process.
