Columbia University has agreed to a major settlement with Donald Trump, committing to pay $220 million over three years to restore federal research funding that was previously revoked due to concerns over antisemitism on campus. The university will also pay $21 million to resolve federal employment investigations and implement a series of reforms, including changes to its disciplinary process, curriculum, and diversity policies. The agreement follows months of negotiations and comes amid ongoing tensions and protests related to the Israel-Hamas war. Columbia's leadership emphasized that the settlement preserves the university's independence while addressing federal concerns and safeguarding research partnerships.
