The Trump administration’s antisemitism task force has sent a letter to Columbia University, detailing how it can win back the $400 million in federal grant funds it cut off last week, because the college had failed to combat antisemitism on campus.
The letter, sent Thursday and seen by The Free Press, states that “Columbia has. . . fundamentally failed to protect American students and faculty from antisemitic violence and harassment” and “outlines immediate next steps that we regard as a precondition for formal negotiations regarding Columbia University’s continued financial relationship with the United States government.”
