Columbia University agreed to implement a suite of policy changes, including overhauling its rules for protests and conducting an immediate review of its Middle Eastern studies department
Under threat of funding cuts from the Trump administration, Columbia University agreed to policy changes, including overhauling protest rules, reviewing its Middle Eastern studies department, and adopting a definition of antisemitism. The administration demanded these changes following protests against Israel's actions in Gaza, threatening further funding cuts if unmet. Columbia will bar indoor protests and masks concealing identity.
