The Trump administration has cut $400 million in federal funding from Columbia University due to its handling of antisemitic harassment, while also investigating UC Berkeley, Stanford, and other universities for similar issues. These investigations come after reports of widespread antisemitic incidents on campus, particularly during pro-Palestinian protests. The move could lead to further federal funding cuts if universities fail to address the allegations. Critics have accused the administration of using these investigations for political purposes.
