Columbia University Cancels Trump’s Grants Amid Antisemitism and Financial Scandal
Columbia University has made headlines after canceling grants associated with former President Donald Trump due to allegations of antisemitism and a significant financial scandal. The decision came after investigations revealed a $400 million payment made by Columbia to Fetterman, a company linked to Trump, which was deemed a failure and a misuse of funds.
The university faced intense scrutiny following reports from The Financial Times, Yahoo News, CNN, and The New York Times, which detailed the misuse of funds and the university's ties to controversial figures. The cancellation of the grants is part of a broader effort by Columbia to distance itself from the Trump administration's legacy and address concerns about antisemitism on campus.
Former President Trump has been vocal in his criticism of the university's decision, calling it politically motivated. However, Columbia's administration insists that the move was necessary to maintain the institution's integrity and commitment to ethical standards.
This incident has sparked a national debate on the role of universities in political and financial matters, with many calling for greater transparency and accountability in how educational institutions manage their finances and affiliations.
