Higher education across America long has dealt with the upper echelons of the economy: Billions of dollars in endowments, tuition of $50,000 or more, and faculty salaries routinely in six digits.
But even so, a sudden drop of $400 million in grants is bound to be noticed.
That’s what’s happening to Columbia University, because of the anti-Semitism it has allowed on campus.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
President Donald Trump’s announcement Friday was that the government will rescind more than $400 million in federal grants to the leftists running the school.
SHALOM COLUMBIA: The Trump Admin, led by @USEDgov and the Task Force to Combat Antisemitism (@TheJusticeDept, @HHSGov, & @USGSA), has canceled ~$400M in federal grants to @Columbia over its failure to protect Jewish students from antisemitic harassment. pic.twitter.com/CavoXbhhvx

The move even earned the support of Sen. John Fetterman, a Democrat.
Columbia let antisemitism run amok to cater to lunatic fringe and paid provocateurs.
Leadership allowed those assholes to take over the campus and terrorize Jewish students.
Now, Columbia pays for its failure and I support that. pic.twitter.com/k1kNYfnsMu

A report from Fox News said just days ago the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education and the U.S. General Services Administration revealed a full review of more than $5 billion in federal grants going to Columbia.
It was triggered by the “ongoing investigations for potential violations of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act” related to anti-Semitism on campus.
The report cited “sources familiar with the matter” who said more than $400 million already is being rescinded.
And the review continues.
The university campus was the site of multiple anti-Israel occupations and protests after the attack by Hamas terrorists on innocent Israeli civilians Oct. 7, 2023.
As recently as days ago several students were arrested after a taking took over a library on campus.
Fox reported, “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.”
She explained, in a recent statement, “Americans have watched in horror for more than a year now, as Jewish students have been assaulted and harassed on elite university campuses—repeatedly overrun by antisemitic students and agitators. Unlawful encampments and demonstrations have completely paralyzed day-to-day campus operations, depriving Jewish students of learning opportunities to which they are entitled.”
She said schools need to protect all students from discrimination, and Columbia’s apparent failure “raises very serious questions about the institution’s fitness to continue doing business with the United States government.”
