Three federal agencies are planning to evaluate government funds allocated to Columbia University following anti-Jewish incidents at the institution.

“Given Columbia’s ongoing inaction in the face of relentless harassment of Jewish students, the Federal Government’s Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism is considering Stop Work Orders for $51.4 million in contracts between Columbia University and the Federal Government,” the Department of Education said in a March 3 statement. Stop Work Orders are instructions given to contractors to suspend work on projects.
