Columbia University Has Hit The News...

So it seems that some news has been going on with Columbia University recently… They have reached a conclusion about this debacle.. Let's dive in shall we?

Education Secretary Linda McMahon has secured what she’s calling a “monumental victory” over Columbia University as part of a nationwide crackdown on antisemitism. Columbia University has agreed to pay over $200 million and implement sweeping internal reforms following a federal investigation into its handling of antisemitic incidents on campus. The deal comes after months of unrest and mounting accusations that the university failed to protect Jewish students or discipline those responsible for antisemitic behavior.

The Education Department had already frozen large sums of federal funding, using financial pressure as leverage to force changes—and it seems that it has worked. 

So what does this mean exactly? Well from my understanding after reading the Fox Business article, The Columbia agreement mandates not only financial restitution but also major policy overhauls, enhanced oversight, and new disciplinary measures for protest-related conduct. The administration’s strategy? Leverage federal dollars to enforce reform.

We will for sure be writing more about this subject again! I hear Education Secretary Linda McMahon isn't just stopping here….
