Trump administration yanks $400M in grants, contracts from Columbia University over ‘antisemitism’ on campus | 7 March 2025 | The Trump administration yanked roughly $400 million in grants and contracts from Columbia University on Friday, citing the school’s noncompliance with anti-discrimination laws. A federal antisemitism task force — which was convened by President Trump and includes the Departments of Justice, Health and Human Services (HHS), Education and the General Services Administration (GSA) — announced the barring of U.S. taxpayers’ money from funding the school. There will likely be even more cancellations, the Joint Task Force to Combat Antisemitism also said in their announcement. The GSA has been deputized to issue “stop-work orders” on the hundreds of thousands of dollars in grants between Columbia and the DOJ, HHS and Education Department.
