Columbia University has reportedly agreed to restore $400 million in federal funding after pressure from the Trump administration due to allegations of antisemitism. The university will implement a mask ban, reorganize its leadership for certain departments, and empower campus police. This decision comes after the administration demanded strict disciplinary measures against students involved in anti-Israel protests. The ultimatum included a Friday deadline and outlined various changes to discipline procedures, including the potential abolishment of the University Judicial Board and placing certain departments in academic receivership.
