Columbia University will pay $200 million to resolve allegations that it discriminated against Jewish students, in exchange for the restoration of federal grants worth hundreds of millions of dollars.
“While Columbia does not admit to wrongdoing with this resolution agreement, the institution’s leaders have recognized, repeatedly, that Jewish students and faculty have experienced painful, unacceptable incidents, and that reform was and is needed,” the university said in a statement announcing that it had reached a deal with the federal government.
