US EditionColumbia announces additional steps to combat antisemitism amid negotiations with Trump administration
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 is reportedly nearing a settlement with the Trump administration over alleged failures to combat antisemitism on its campus as of 2025.
- This follows the Trump administration suspending over $400 million in federal funding to Columbia due to concerns that antisemitism has been allowed to fester.
- Columbia has pledged to use the antisemitism framework endorsed by the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance and to collaborate with Jewish organizations such as the Anti-Defamation League to provide educational initiatives.
- President Trump stated the settlement would involve "a lot of money" and confirmed negotiations are ongoing as Columbia wants to settle very badly.
- If finalized, the deal could set a precedent for other schools to regain funding by increasing transparency and addressing antisemitism, though critics warn it may insufficiently address underlying issues.
