Trump Administration Cuts Additional $30 Million in Federal Grants to Columbia University

The new cuts, part of a broader review of Columbia's federal funding, are tied to concerns over anti-Semitism and student protests on campus.

The Trump administration has slashed $30 million in grants from Columbia University, following an earlier $400 million reduction in federal funding this month.
The cuts were initiated by the Department of Health and Human Services as part of the Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism's ongoing review of Columbia's $5 billion in federal funding.
Jeanine D'Armiento, chairwoman of Columbia's University Senate Executive Committee, is among those affected, with $2 million of the cuts tied to her research grants.
D'Armiento has faced criticism for her role in supporting student activists involved in disruptive protests, including anti-Semitic incidents, and for advocating dialogue over disciplinary measures.
The Trump administration has outlined steps Columbia must take to discuss restoring funding, including stricter enforcement of discipline policies and reforms to its admissions process.
