Ivy League Capitulates After $400M Funding Cut
Under relentless pressure from President Donald Trump’s administration, Columbia University announced sweeping reforms to combat antisemitism and restore order to its radicalized campus. The Ivy League institution agreed to disband anti-Israel protest zones, empower police to arrest agitators, and dismantle its compromised Middle East studies programs—a direct result of Trump’s decision to cancel $400 million in federal grants until the university complied.
The changes, outlined in Columbia’s memo, include hiring 36 special police officers with arrest authority, banning face masks used to hide protester identities, and placing the Middle Eastern studies department under federal oversight. Interim President Katrina Armstrong admitted in her letter that the university had failed to protect Jewish students from harassment since Hamas’ October 2023 attack on Israel.
“We have worked hard to address the legitimate concerns raised both from within and without our Columbia community, including by our regulators, with respect to the discrimination, harassment, and antisemitic acts our Jewish community has faced.”

Trump’s Education Counterstrike
President Trump’s bold move to strip funding from Columbia—first reported by The Wall Street Journal—marks a seismic shift in higher education accountability. While weak-kneed administrators previously coddled anti-American protesters, Trump’s ultimatum forced concrete action:
- Campus Masks Banned: No more Antifa-style anonymity for agitators
- Protest Zones Crushed: Academic buildings declared off-limits to disruptions
- Deep State Departments Purged: Middle East studies programs face federal review
This comes weeks after Trump defunded University of Pennsylvania for allowing biological males to compete in women’s sports—proving his commitment to ending woke indoctrination.
Academic Deep State Exposed
Columbia’s Middle Eastern studies department—long accused of anti-Israel bias—will now answer to a Trump-approved administrator. The department houses the Center for Palestine Studies, whose faculty members have praised Hamas as “resistance fighters.” This structural overhaul confirms what patriots have long suspected: universities operate as deep state indoctrination centers.
The reforms align with Trump’s 2024 executive order to defund antisemitic institutions, leveraging the IHRA’s definition of antisemitism to root out anti-Zionist extremism. As Columbia’s cancer is cut out, 60 other universities under federal investigation now face the same choice: comply with American values or lose taxpayer funding.
Patriotic Students Reclaim Campus
While CNN and MSNBC mourn the death of “academic freedom”, Jewish students finally breathe freely. Columbia suspended 73 protesters who occupied Hamilton Hall last April, proving that consequences exist for those who put ideology over education.
The university’s new special police force—trained specifically to handle campus unrest—will prevent a repeat of 2024’s anarchic “Gaza solidarity encampments.” No more safe spaces for America-hating mobs.
