Education Secretary McMahon highlighted Columbia University's new accountability measures and cooperation with the NYPD after the historic $200 million settlement.

NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia University has reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus, the university announced Wednesday.

Columbia University said on Wednesday it will pay over $200 million to the U.S. government in a settlement with President Donald Trump's administration to resolve federal probes and have most of its suspended federal funding restored.

President Donald Trump secured a $221M settlement with Columbia University in the wake of pro-Palestinian protests and civil rights violations, according to the White House.

Columbia University has agreed to a $220 million settlement with the US government following a federal investigation into its handling of antisemitism during protests related to the Israel-Gaza conflict.

The Trump administration pulled $400 million in federal funding from Columbia this year over its handling of pro-Palestinian protests in 2024.

Columbia professors sent a letter to the university's president outlining items that should be included in a deal with the White House.
