Columbia Pays $221 Million Settlement, Faces Trump Administration

Columbia University reached a deal with the government, paying $221 million.

This was because the government said the university wasn't doing enough to stop antisemitism and cut off some of its funding.

The university agreed to punish students involved in protests.

This settlement allows the government to have more influence over what universities do.

Harvard University, however, is fighting back, trying to protect its independence.

This shows that the government is getting more involved in how colleges handle protests and rules.
