“The significance of [Columbia University’s] settlement isn’t just the corrective measures that Columbia has to put in place, but it is the fact that they are only responding because there was financial pressure — and that should tell you everything. Because [Columbia] sat back and sat quietly while Jewish students and faculty were physically assaulted, harassed, intimidated, and [Columbia] did nothing. Now they’re only bending the knee because of the federal funding pressure.” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman said on America’s Newsroom. “That’s scary, because if the Trump administration was not in office right now, would [Columbia] be making this decision [to implement new measures to protect Jewish students]? Absolutely not.”
“What Donald Trump … [is] doing is saying ‘Look, if you want to get … public funds, there is public responsibility to your students and to the public.'”
