Universities are supposed to be bastions of critical thinking and civil discourse? Those days seem as distant as dial-up internet. Instead, our nation’s “elite” campuses have transformed into breeding grounds for antisemitism, with administration buildings doubling as fan clubs for enemies of America.

While university presidents wring their hands about “nuance” and “context,” Jewish students face harassment that would make even the most hardened bureaucrat blush.

But there’s a new sheriff in town, Americans. President Trump has already put Columbia University on notice with a $400 million funding cut earlier this month.

Now, he’s turning the financial screws even tighter – slashing another $30 million in federal grants. And this is just the appetizer before the main course of accountability.

Your Tax Dollars at Work (Against You)

Here’s a number that might make you spit out your coffee: Columbia University receives a staggering $5 BILLION in federal funding. That’s right – while you’re clipping coupons and watching gas prices, your tax dollars are flowing to an institution that can’t seem to figure out whether antisemitism is actually a problem.

From ‘The Post Millennial’:
The Trump administration is reviewing Columbia’s $5 billion in federal funding. The new cuts follow the administration’s decision to cancel $400 million in grants and contracts to the university announced earlier this month.

According to the Washington Free Beacon, the $30 million in grants came from the Department of Health and Human Services, which took action as a member of the Trump administration’s Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism.

The Trump administration isn’t just randomly cutting checks – they’re surgically targeting those who enabled the chaos. The Joint Task Force to Combat Anti-Semitism is reviewing every penny of that $5 billion, and from the looks of it, Columbia shouldn’t be planning any lavish construction projects anytime soon.

Professor Protector Gets Her Comeuppance

Among those feeling the financial pinch is one Jeanine D’Armiento, chairwoman of the University Senate Executive Committee. If that title sounds impressive, wait until you hear what she’s been doing with her authority.

When a fellow professor dared mention there were “groups who are supporting terrorists” on campus during a University Senate meeting, D’Armiento’s response was swift – she cut the microphone. Apparently, accurate descriptions of reality are just too dangerous in the hallowed halls of Columbia.

Text messages obtained by the House Committee on Education and the Workforce revealed D’Armiento urged former Columbia president Minouche Shafik to engage in “dialogue” with the antisemitic protesters, even suggesting they should help craft the very rules that would govern them. That’s like asking the fox to design security protocols for the henhouse.

Grants supporting D’Armiento’s work account for approximately $2 million of the latest cuts. It turns out enabling antisemitism isn’t just morally bankrupt – it’s financially costly too.

A Roadmap Back to Sanity

The Trump administration isn’t just wielding financial sticks – they’re also offering a carrot. On Thursday, they sent Columbia a letter outlining steps the university must take if they want to have any hope of getting their funding restored.

This follows a pattern of decisive action from the administration. While handling Columbia, Trump has also taken firm action against terrorists abroad, smoking an ISIS leader in Iraq and launching military action against Houthi terrorists in Yemen. The message is clear: whether you’re a terrorist on foreign soil or an enabler on an American campus, the days of consequence-free extremism are over.

Key Takeaways:

• Columbia University has now lost $430 million in federal funding in March alone, with Trump’s administration reviewing all $5 billion in taxpayer support.
• Faculty leader Jeanine D’Armiento, who silenced colleagues mentioning terrorism and protected disruptive protesters, saw $2 million in grants cut.
• This comes as Trump warns universities to stop allowing antisemitic movements or else lose federal funding.
