Columbia University has agreed to pay $200m to President Donald Trump’s administration over accusations it failed to protect its Jewish students, the BBC reports.
The settlement, which will be paid to the federal government over three years, was announced in a statement by the university and confirmed by the president on social media.
In exchange, the government has agreed to return some of the $400m in federal grants it froze or terminated in March.
Columbia was the first school targeted by the administration for its alleged failures to curb antisemitism amid last year’s Israel-Gaza war protests on its New York City campus. It had already agreed to a set of demands from the White House in March.
