New York – US Education Secretary Linda McMahon said that Columbia University is “on the right path”, which is towards recovering federal financing after the Elite New York City University agrees to implement the policy changes sought by the Trump administration.
On Sunday, CNN’s “State of the Union” appeared, McMahon described the “great conversation” with Katrina Armstrong, the interim president of Columbia.
McMahon said, “She said that she knew that it was her responsibility to ensure that the children were safe in her premises.” “She wanted to ensure that there was no discrimination of any kind. She wanted to address any systemic issues that were identified relative to antisemiamism in the campus.”
Armstrong announced on Friday that the university would put its Middle East Studies Department under new supervision and eliminate its rules for protest and student discipline. It also agreed to adopt a new definition of antisemitism, by staffing its institute for Israel and Jewish studies, as per a framework posted on its website and also to expand “intellectual diversity”.
Earlier this month, the Trump administration drew $ 400 million in research grants and other funding how the university took over the protest against the Israeli military campaign in Gaza. In order to consider restoring those funds and billions in future grants, federal authorities demanded nine separate changes in the university’s educational and security policies.
Armstrong’s decision alleged the administration’s demands that some faculty and free speech groups were condemned, who accused President Donald Trump to largely unprecedented infiltration of unprecedented infiltration on educational freedom.
Asked if the university has enough to secure its funding, McMahon said: “We are now on the right path, to ensure that the final dialogue will apply to ensure that the money would apply.”
The rift of the Trump administration at Columbia University, where a large -scale opposition protest movement began with a tent in the previous spring, put the campus in crisis and feared similar works in colleges across the country.
