Columbia University has reached a settlement with the federal government to restore over two hundred million dollars in previously withdrawn research funding. The agreement requires Columbia to pay two hundred million dollars over three years and an additional twenty-one million dollars to resolve federal investigations, without admitting wrongdoing. In response to federal demands, the university will restructure its student disciplinary system, adopt a formal definition of antisemitism, review its Middle East curriculum, and end programs with race-based outcomes or diversity targets. Columbia will also appoint faculty to its Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies and report to an external monitor to ensure compliance with the new measures. The settlement follows months of federal scrutiny over Columbia's handling of antisemitism allegations and campus protests, and is intended to restore the university's research partnership with the government while preserving academic independence.
