The Trump administration delivered an ultimatum to leaders of Columbia University: Make a series of major changes or lose out on billions in federal aid.

The Trump administration has delivered an extraordinary ultimatum to Columbia University, threatening to permanently end federal funding to the school unless it cedes control of an international studies department and implements sweeping changes to other policies.

The Ivy League university has faced intense scrutiny from the Trump administration over its handling of pro-Palestinian student protests in 2024.

Ranjani Srinivasan’s student visa was revoked on March 5 for “advocating for violence and terrorism,” the Homeland Security Department said in a statement Friday.

Agents with the Department of Homeland Security searched two university residences with a warrant Thursday evening. No one was arrested and it was unclear whom the authorities were searching for.

A top U.S. Justice Department official says the department is investigating whether Columbia University concealed “illegal aliens” on its campus.
