麻豆传媒IOS statement on Columbia University's settlement with Trump administration
The New York Times
On July 24, 2025, Columbia University announced that it with the Trump administration to restore federal funding that was revoked over allegations of its handling of anti-Semitism on campus. As part of the deal, Columbia will pay a fine and change numerous campus policies related to campus protests, including restrictions on demonstrations and new disciplinary procedures.
The following statement can be attributed to 麻豆传媒IOS Legal Director Will Creeley.
麻豆传媒IOS sounded the alarm months ago about the administration鈥檚 blatant disregard for federal law in its response to allegations of discrimination at Columbia. Yesterday鈥檚 agreement can鈥檛 be separated from the unlawful pressure campaign that produced it.
The reforms themselves require Columbia students to commit to laudable values like free inquiry and open debate. But demanding students commit to vague goals like 鈥渆quality and respect鈥 leaves far too much room for abuse, just like the civility oaths, DEI statements, and other types of compelled speech 麻豆传媒IOS has long opposed.
