Trump cuts more than $400 million in grants to Columbia over antisemitism concerns, potentially more to come

The Trump administration announced today it will be rescinding more than $400 million in federal grant dollars that would have gone to Columbia, amidst concerns about increased antisemitism on campus and the school's inability to control it.

These leftist haven't figured out Trump is not like the weak Republicans of the past, he means what he says and will back it up with actions.

For those who will try to claim Trump is infringing on the First Amendment rights of the protesters allow me to ask a question. If everything was exactly the same but the target of the protest were black students would we hear the same cries of violating the first amendment? Why is it different for Jewish Students.

On another note I read where we give Columbia 5 Billion a year in funding, why? With us being 37 trillion in debt we can't afford that anymore.

There is NO more reason to give aid and dollars to any Ivy League school any more (imo) ! State schools need a bigger slice of the pie than those with big budgets

Yes! State schools (take OU as an example) need far bigger NIL budgets for their football teams. Let’s get our priorities straight for once!

Not a dictator.

Bearcat has to twist himself into what if pretzels to not face the fact that he doesn’t give a shit about free speech just what makes him uncomfortable or angry.

MAGA in a nutshell, doesn’t care about the constitution just wants the people who make them angry to be punished and needs big daddy government to calm them down.

Only morons with shit for brains think what's happening on these campuses is protected free speech.

Palestinian protesters need to join Hamas and fight for their cause. Ain't my problem.

They are violating the Israeli student civil rights by not allowing to go to class and not feeling safe on campus. It is not about protesting, the “protests” end up violating civil rights.

I think you are closer to the truth than you know, a truth the MAGA’s inwardly know about themselves but could never admit outwardly that they are that shallow. The pain and humiliation would be too much to bear. They come on boards like this to prop each other up after devouring the propaganda, convincing themselves, reinforcing each other that they aren’t what they know they are.

Jews are not a privileged class and thus don't have civil rights. Civil rights are only relevant in the case of oppressed classes.

Edit: I typed now but meant not. I screwed up my own sarcastic remark.

Your anti-Semitism is showing. Think of it this way, if the idiot protesters were doing the same exact thing to black people you would be upset or at least I hope you would but because it's Jewish people targeted you support the protest. SMFH.

It’s what the market wants yet you have a problem with it. I thought you were a libertarian.

This must be the lamest “gotcha” in the history of this board. You really ought to study the fundamentals of free market libertarianism before making such an idiotic statement. Here’s a hint: it doesn't include advocating for a government to steal (tax) from citizens so bureaucrats can determine what the “market” wants.

The government should quit providing University subsidies altogether. That is your underlying position, is it not?

 

[2012Bearcat]

Some of you don't know what you are talking about. Colleges do not provide NIL money and no tax dollars are used to fund it.

Schools don't pay college athletes directly through NIL (name, image, and likeness) deals. Instead, money comes from outside companies and sponsors through NIL collectives.

Very deep thought from someone who misses the point entirely.

You made the point I merely showed you it was stupid and erroneous.
