Trump has announced a $400 million funding cut to Columbia University, citing concerns over anti-Semitism and the university’s handling of Gaza-related protests on campus. Trump criticized Columbia for fostering what he called a hostile environment for Jewish students, amid escalating tensions over the Israel-Gaza conflict. The decision has sparked intense debate over academic freedom, campus activism, and federal funding for universities. Columbia has yet to respond to the funding cut, which could have significant financial and institutional repercussions.
