Columbia University said Wednesday it will pay the U.S. government $200 million and a further $21 million to settle several civil-rights investigations opened by President Donald Trump’s administration, ending a months-long standoff that had cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in research funding. The agreement resolves allegations that the Ivy League school failed to protect Jewish students and employees amid pro-Palestinian demonstrations. In March the government froze more than $400 million in National Institutes of Health and Health and Human Services grants and signaled it could block access to the school’s broader $1.3 billion portfolio of federal support. In exchange for restoring “a vast majority” of those grants, Columbia pledged to follow federal bans on considering race in admissions or hiring, revamp its student disciplinary process, and bring greater viewpoint diversity to its Middle East studies programs. Compliance will be overseen for three years by Bart M. Schwartz, a former federal prosecutor jointly selected by the university and the government. Education Secretary Linda McMahon called the deal a model for other institutions, while acting Columbia president Claire Shipman said it preserves the university’s authority over faculty hiring, admissions and academics. Trump hailed the settlement as a “historic agreement” and warned that other universities remain under review.
