JUST IN !! President Trump cuts more than $400 million in grants to Columbia over antisemitism concerns, potentially more to come

The slashed funding comes amid a review of more than $5 billion in federal grant commitments going to Columbia.

The Trump administration announced on Friday that it will rescind more than $400 million in federal grants to Columbia University, citing concerns over rising antisemitism on campus and the school’s failure to address it.

Earlier this week, the Departments of Health and Human Services (HHS), Education (DoED) and the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) announced the initiation of a “comprehensive review” of more than $5 billion in federal grant money that goes to Columbia, “in light of ongoing investigations for potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act” related to antisemitism on campus.

It has only been four days since the Trump administration’s announcement of this review, but the agencies have already begun slashing funds. Sources familiar with the matter, who asked to remain anonymous, say that more than $400 million in federal grant funds from HHS and DoED will be rescinded from Columbia as a result of the antisemitism that is allegedly continuing on campus.

As the review of Columbia’s grant dollars continues, additional federal funding could be rescinded, sources familiar with the review said.

The university faced ongoing anti-Israel protests this week reminiscent of the student encampments that enveloped Columbia, and subsequently campuses across the country, following Hamas’ attack on innocent Israelis on Oct. 7, 2023. Students swarmed and attempted to take over a library on campus, leading to nine arrests Wednesday, according to the New York Post.

Linda McMahon, the Trump administration’s Secretary of Education, visited the campus on Friday to meet with university leaders and discuss the ongoing concerns related to antisemitism.
