White House hails Columbia University deal as model for others
The Trump administration announced a settlement with Columbia University paying over 200 million to resolve antisemitism and discriminatory hiring claims, unfreezing more than 1 billion in federal grants while curbing DEI initiatives. The pact limits government reach over admissions and hiring, and mandates data sharing on admissions by race and test scores and in some cases directs a monitor. Several universities, including Harvard, Michigan, Duke and Cornell, are in talks or facing scrutiny as scholars warn of a new “regulation by deal” model in higher education.
