Columbia University Pays $200M to Restore Federal Funding

On July 23, 2025, Columbia University agreed to pay $200 million over three years to the U.S. government to resolve investigations into alleged violations of anti-discrimination laws following President Trump’s threats to cut federal funding due to claims of insufficient protection for Jewish students.

The settlement reinstates grants that were paused in March 2025 and ensures access to future funding, potentially amounting to billions of dollars. Additionally, Columbia committed to implementing race-neutral admissions and hiring policies.

Columbia University has reached an agreement regarding federal investigations into violations of anti-discrimination laws. As part of this settlement, the university will pay $200 million to the government and an additional $21 million to resolve investigations by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

Acting President Claire Shipman stated: “This agreement marks an important step forward after sustained federal scrutiny. It safeguards our independence, vital for academic excellence.” Columbia admitted no wrongdoing, positioning the settlement as a strategic move to maintain research partnerships.

Trump’s Influence and Broader Context

Trump hailed the deal: “Thanking Columbia for agreeing to do what is right,” he warned that other universities face similar scrutiny. Harvard also battles funding threats, suggesting Columbia’s deal could set a precedent. Trump’s claims of left-wing bias at elite institutions frame this as a victory for his nationalist agenda.

The settlement mandates a security force to prevent protests in academic spaces, following last year’s clashes over Israel’s Gaza conflict. Columbia disciplined 80 students involved in May 2025 protests, issuing suspensions and expulsions. The university stated: “Disruptions to academic activities violate policies and will generate consequences.”

Read: Columbia University Suspends 80 Students Over Pro-Palestinian Protesters

Pro-Palestinian groups argue criticism of Israel is mislabeled as antisemitism. Student leader Mahmoud Khalil, detained during protests, filed a $20 million lawsuit against the Trump administration, citing his detention during his son’s birth.

The deal raises concerns about free speech and the rights to protest. Khalil’s lawsuit highlights tensions, with advocates warning of stifled dissent. Columbia emphasises balancing academic mission with compliance.
