Columbia University will pay $200 million to resolve allegations that it discriminated against Jewish students, in exchange for the restoration of federal grants worth hundreds of millions of dollars.

“While Columbia does not admit to wrongdoing with this resolution agreement, the institution’s leaders have recognized, repeatedly, that Jewish students and faculty have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents, and that reform was and is needed,” the university said in a statement announcing that it had reached a deal with the federal government.

In addition to a cash settlement, Columbia University will also implement a series of reforms announced earlier this year.

In March, several government agencies announced an initial wave of grant cancellations to the university that totaled around $400 million.

Great.

Now deport half the student body and force them to give full ride scholarships to White kids from Nebraska.

Penance is doing right by the people you harmed.

The last white kid Columbia admitted was some Jersey girl. I think her name was Meadow Soprano.

What “reforms” do they have to implement, now do they have to say “When we say we want Jews in ovens, what we mean is inviting them to dinner, not literally cooking them”

$200 million to get $400 million (plus 100s of millions more over time)? Sounds like a good deal for Colombia.

There should be no federal funding for multi-billion dollar elite institutions. Period.

When did welfare for the rich become a left wing cause?

It was unconditional surrender. They also agreed to:

Additionally, the Morningside Heights school will comply with Title IX and no longer force women to compete with biological men in sports or use their locker rooms, housing or other facilities.

“When did welfare for the rich become a left wing cause?”

My brother used to do campaign work for Republicans in upstate NY.

The most affluent part of the village had the most signs for Democrats.

Federal money may be spent on the poor, but it winds up in the financial accounts of the well-to-do.

Great. Now release all the Jewish lawyers in NYC and go after forcing Columbia to admit wrong doing, with settlements.

So Columbia loses a small fraction of their taxpayer-funded grants.

For comparison, in 1976 the IRS revoked the tax exemption of Bob Jones University RETROACTIVELY to 1970 based on racial discrimination because the school banned interracial dating. The tax exemption remained revoked for 40 YEARS, until 2017. (The school dropped the interracial dating ban in 2000.)

Equal application of the law should apply to Columbia, which has far worse discrimination.
