Columbia University has agreed to pay two hundred million dollars to the United States government to resolve a dispute over its handling of pro-Palestinian student protests and allegations of anti-Semitism on campus. The settlement follows threats from President Donald Trump to withdraw federal funding, with Columbia also agreeing to comply with federal anti-discrimination laws and to make changes in its admissions and hiring practices. The agreement restores access to federal grants for the university and includes additional payments to settle employment investigations. Columbia will implement stricter security measures to prevent disruptive demonstrations and will provide federal authorities with information on disciplinary actions involving student visa-holders. Meanwhile, a former student has filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration over his detention by immigration agents during the protests.
