Columbia announced they are settling with the Trump administration.

They agreed to a list of demands from the Trump administration.

They are paying $200 million to the federal government, and in return, the Trump administration will restore most of the funding that was cut.

NBC News reported:

Columbia University will pay $200 million to the federal government to restore the majority of funding that was cut by the Trump administration over allegations it violated anti-discrimination laws.

“This agreement marks an important step forward after a period of sustained federal scrutiny and institutional uncertainty,” acting university President Claire Shipman said in a statement.

Columbia then agreed to a list of demands by the Trump administration, which some critics saw as a capitulation by the private university.

Columbia said in the Wednesday statement that under the agreement “a vast majority of the federal grants which were terminated or paused in March 2025 — will be reinstated and Columbia’s access to billions of dollars in current and future grants will be restored.”

Columbia will also be sending $20 million to Jewish employees who were discriminated against and is ending “all programming that discriminated against faculty or students — bringing it into full compliance with the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision banning race-based affirmative action — and create some yet-to-be-announced faculty positions in the name of broadening intellectual diversity.”

New York Post reported:

The settlement, under which Columbia will agree to submit to independent monitoring to ensure it is complying with merit-based hiring and admissions requirements, is likely to put pressure on other schools — like Harvard — that have crossed the White House over tolerance of extreme Jew-hatred on campus since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack by Hamas against Israel.

In addition to paying the feds $200 million to settle their discrimination claims, Columbia will also fork over more than $20 million to Jewish employees who were discriminated against amid fierce antisemitic demonstrations that followed the Hamas attack.

The Trump administration is touting the employees’ sum as the largest public settlement of its kind in nearly 20 years and the highest for any victim who’s lodged a Title VI complaint.

The Ivy League school has also agreed to end all programming that discriminated against faculty or students — bringing it into full compliance with the Supreme Court’s 2023 decision banning race-based affirmative action — and create some yet-to-be-announced faculty positions in the name of broadening intellectual diversity.
