Dept. of Education cancels $400 million in grants/contracts to Columbia U. for Gaza protests /*interim pres. steps down

[JulesMusic719]

Of course, OP left out that the cancellation of funds was due to them harassing Jewish students and the university not doing enough to combat that. I'll have to do more research, but the reports say Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment. That does change my stance on this a little bit.

Also, Linda McMahon (yes, that Linda McMahon) is the Secretary of Education. Trump seemed to put a lot of people in positions that they seem unqualified for while talking down on DEI. Make it make sense.

You said that with confidence as if Jewish people aren't murdering innocent Palestinian people...


So Jewish people are getting harassed because they're being protested against for their people murdering innocent people??

You sound like a dumb fakkit bruh.

Trump’s Cuts to Columbia Were a ‘Gun to the Head,’ Faculty Lawsuit Says​

The Trump administration’s cancellation of $400 million in aid violates the Constitution, a teachers’ union and a faculty group argue in a new suit.

March 25, 2025

Two groups representing Columbia University faculty members on Tuesday sued the Trump administration over $400 million in federal funding cuts and demands that the school make dramatic changes to student discipline and admissions policies.

The plaintiffs, the American Association of University Professors and the American Federation of Teachers, asked a Manhattan federal court to restore the funding and argued that the cuts were unconstitutional.

The two groups and Protect Democracy, a nonprofit organization representing them, said in a news release that the funding cuts and an accompanying letter demanding changes to Columbia policy violated the First Amendment. The Trump administration’s actions “have created instability and a deep chilling effect on college campuses across the country,” the statement said.

Remember people that abstained from voting for Kamala or even voted for don because of the Biden administration’s policies regarding the conflict? Yeah. This is better, right?
