University will provide admissions data in exchange for frozen funds
Columbia University will pay $200 million to President Donald Trump’s administration in a settlement to resolve federal investigations into alleged breaches of anti-discrimination laws.
“Under [the] agreement, a vast majority of the federal grants which were terminated or paused in March 2025 will be reinstated, and Columbia’s access to billions of dollars in current and future grants will be restored,” President Claire Shipman wrote in a message to the campus community Wednesday.
Columbia will pay the settlement over a three-year period, along with $21 million to resolve inquiries led by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, Shipman stated.
The university also agreed to provide the government admissions data, including race, GPA, and test scores of accepted and rejected students, the Columbia Spectator reported.
Additionally, the school will give the Trump administration all records of “disciplinary actions” involving international students.
