Columbia University on the cusp of a deal with Trump administration, paying millions to unlock federal funding
Columbia University is on the verge of striking an agreement with the Trump administration following months of negotiation to restore federal funding to the school, according to two sources familiar with the deal.
Columbia is expected to pay a multimillion-dollar settlement to victims of alleged civil rights violations, implement changes to its diversity, equity and inclusion policies, boost transparency about hiring and admissions efforts, and take other steps to improve security and safety on campus for Jewish students, according to one source familiar with the matter.
In return, the source said, the school will regain access to over $400 million in federal funding the Trump administration stripped earlier this year.
