Tap title to read story
The Trump administration is considering a consent decree against Columbia University, escalating its crackdown on the Ivy League school. This follows the suspension of $400 million in federal grants and contracts due to alleged failures to protect students from antisemitism. A consent decree would require Columbia's agreement and could involve lengthy legal battles if resisted. The administration, expressing skepticism of Columbia's good faith, aims to make an example of the university, which was involved in student protests. The administration has also frozen nearly $1 billion in funding from other universities.
