Trump Administration Cancels Grants Worth $400 Million for Columbia University

“Since October 7, Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment on their campuses–only to be ignored by those who are supposed to protect them,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement, referring to the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas attacks in Israel that left 1,200 civilians dead.

“Universities must comply with all federal antidiscrimination laws if they are going to receive federal funding. For too long, Columbia has abandoned that obligation to Jewish students studying on its campus. Today, we demonstrate to Columbia and other universities that we will not tolerate their appalling inaction any longer,” she added.
 
from what i understand a lot of, if not all of the universities get a lot of federal money but never use it towards severely lowering the cost of tuition.

if they arent doing this, then stop the funding. with the taxes we pay on everything state run colleges should be free.
