Trump admin cancels $400M worth of grants to Columbia University
The Trump administration has canceled $400 million worth of grants and contracts to Columbia University for "the school's continued inaction in the face of persistent harassment of Jewish students," according to the Justice Department, Dept. of Health and Human Services, the Department of Education and the GSA.
The administration said that on March 3 the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism, which is comprised of DOJ, HHS, Ed and GSA components, notified Columbia's administration that "that it would conduct a comprehensive review of the university's federal contracts and grants in light of ongoing investigations under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act," according to a press release from the agencies.
The university didn't immediately comment.
