@pbsnews: Columbia University and the Trump administration reached a deal Wednesday that restores federal funding and research grant money to the university. Under the agreement, Columbia will pay $200 million to the federal government over three years, and an additional $21 million to resolve alleged civil rights violations against Jewish employees.The university also agreed to suspend, expel or revoke degrees from some 70 students who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations. PBS News Hour's Amna Nawaz spoke to Wesleyan University President Michael Roth, who calls the administration's efforts against higher education a "massive overreach." "Conservatives, liberals, moderates, they should all be concerned when a White House tells you how to run your private association," he said. #columbiauniversity #columbia #education #college #trump #news #politics

I would sue the holy hell out of a college for rescinding my degree for participating in protected free speech. Who cares if they keep getting federal funding if nobody wants to go there anymore.

This administration is dismantling our freedoms. It’s a quid pro quo for this administration and it’s embarrassing everyone caves to their bribes , and money grabs.

Hell would freeze over before I have a revoked degree! Best believe that. You worked hard for that accomplishment and you stood up for people that are being treated terribly. That administration would be seeing me in court with my attorney.
