Jewish scholars condemn cancellation of federal funding to Columbia

About 400 Jewish professors and students have written a joint letter condemning the cancellation of some $400 million in federal funding to Columbia University, a move the Trump administration says is in response to the school's handling of antisemitism.

“We are Jewish faculty, scholars, and students at U.S. universities — representative of the community that this administration purports to be protecting from antisemitism on campuses. Let us be clear: These actions do not protect us,” the letter reads.
