Columbia University Caves to Trump’s Demands to Regain Federal Funding

Columbia University is waving the white flag.

After a weeks-long standoff, the Ivy League institution submitted to President Donald Trump’s extensive demands after he revoked $400 million in federal funding from the school.

Columbia yielded to a long list of agreements, according to The Wall Street Journal. The school will ban face masks on campus, give dozens of “special” security officers the power to arrest and/or remove students from campus, and appoint a new senior vice provost to largely govern the Department of Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies and the Center for Palestine Studies.
