After Harvard Rejects Trump’s Demands, Columbia Still In Talks Over Funding

After Harvard Rejects Trump’s Demands, Columbia Still In Talks Over Funding
SHARE

After Harvard rejected the Trump administration’s demands for auditing “viewpoint diversity,” Columbia University is engaged in negotiations to regain federal funding. Columbia’s interim president, Claire Shipman, affirmed the school’s commitment to academic freedom during talks with the administration.

Following pro-Palestinian protests at various universities last year, triggered by the 2023 Hamas-led attack in Israel and subsequent Israeli actions in Gaza, the Trump administration has raised concerns about antisemitism. However, protesters argue that their criticism of Israel and U.S. foreign policy should not be equated with antisemitism.

Harvard President Alan Garber rebuffed the administration’s demands, citing violations of free speech rights and the Civil Rights Act. In response, the administration froze contracts and grants worth over $2 billion to Harvard.

Meanwhile, Columbia is in discussions with the U.S. Justice Department’s antisemitism task force to resolve the termination of grants and contracts worth $400 million. Shipman emphasized that certain demands by the government, such as changes to shared governance and addressing “viewpoint diversity,” are non-negotiable.

Former President Barack Obama commended Harvard’s stance against the administration’s actions, calling it an attempt to stifle academic freedom. The standoff between universities and the Trump administration reflects broader challenges faced by the administration in the realm of immigration policies and federal funding.

As the legal battles continue, the administration’s approach to respecting judicial decisions and constitutional norms remains under scrutiny. The unfolding events underscore the complex dynamics between government authority and academic autonomy.
