NEW YORK CITY, UNITED STATES, JUL 16 – Columbia University adopts the IHRA definition of antisemitism and enacts reforms to address Jewish student harassment amid pro-Palestinian protests, aiming to restore $400 million in federal funding.
- Columbia University announced new steps to combat antisemitism amid ongoing settlement talks with the Trump administration over alleged campus failures.
- These developments follow the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and a nationwide rise in antisemitic incidents prompting federal scrutiny.
- Columbia University has committed to using the widely recognized IHRA framework to define antisemitism, will no longer engage with its leading pro-Palestinian organization, and plans to collaborate with Jewish nonprofits to provide educational programs on antisemitism.
- President Trump said, "A lot of money" is involved and that Columbia "want to settle very badly," describing the deal as the first of its kind.
- The settlement could set a precedent for universities to regain suspended federal funding and indicates heightened federal oversight amid ongoing political debates.
