Columbia University committed to prioritizing efforts against antisemitism following the Trump administration slashing $400 million in federal funding due to perceived inaction on addressing harassment of Jewish students. Interim President Katrina Armstrong announced plans for changes and highlighted the cancellation’s impact on research and university operations. Notable points include:
- Armstrong became president in August 2024, succeeding Minouche Shafik, who resigned after a year.
- There were significant protests against Israeli actions, resulting in canceled commencement activities.
- The NYPD intervened during protests following requests from former President Minouche Shafik.
