Columbia University has reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government.

Columbia University announced Wednesday it has reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus.

Under the agreement, the Ivy League school will pay a $200 million settlement over three years, the university said. It will also pay $21 million to resolve alleged civil rights violations against Jewish employees that occurred following the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel, the White House said.

Columbia has agreed to a series of demands laid out by the Republican administration, including overhauling the university’s student disciplinary process and applying a contentious, federally endorsed definition of antisemitism not only to teaching but to a disciplinary committee that has been investigating students critical of Israel.

    Oh nooooo. The Zionists were called mean things by their coworkers. How fragile, that they need millions of dollars because they support genocide and war crimes.

    Fuck those people. I am learning and not using the J term anymore. Because not all Jewish folks support this genocide. But I still have only met fervent psychopaths who are Jewish and support this genocide.

    I’d love to see more messaging from anti-zionists Israelis. They need to get even louder. Fuck these zionists.

      I doubt even most Jews support the genocide.

      But I still have only met fervent psychopaths who are Jewish and support this genocide.

      You should get a load of the cynical zionist xtians that look forward to the protagonist from their little book club coming back. The Jews need to be in Israel according to this ridiculous narrative. Of course, in this fairy tale, some number of Jews convert to xtianity, the rest are condemned to an eternity of torture. Because that’s a great moral system…and if genocide of Palestinians needs to happen in the service of this stupid fantasy, well, them’s the breaks.

        God I hate all religions so much. I look down on people that need a fairy tale to be a good person. Imagine what we could do with this world if we didn’t have tards ruining everything.
