Columbia University has settled with the Trump administration, putting an end to federal investigations into alleged civil rights violations related to campus protests over the Israel-Hamas war.
What Happened: The university has agreed to pay $200 million to the federal government over three years, resolving investigations triggered by allegations of antisemitism from students and faculty during the protests.
