Columbia University disciplines 70 students as it seeks a deal with Trump

Columbia University disciplined over 70 students with suspensions or expulsions for anti-Israel protests that disrupted the Butler Library and Alumni Weekend in 2024 and 2025. This action follows the Trump administration withholding $400 million in federal grants due to alleged inaction on harassment of Jewish students. The university cited disruptions to academic activities as violating policies. The university's Judicial Board, now under the Provost's Office, conducted hearings and issued sanctions. The university and administration are negotiating to restore funding.
