46% : The Morningside Heights campus, once an academic haven, has transformed into a battleground, where pro-Hamas terror supporters erected tent cities, held inflammatory demonstrations, and, in some cases, openly celebrated the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7. Columbia's funding crisis serves as a warning shot to other universities that have allowed unchecked anti-Semitism to flourish under the guise of political activism.
37% : Federal funding is contingent on compliance with anti-discrimination laws, and Columbia's failure to uphold these standards has now resulted in a massive financial penalty.
