Foxx Issues Warning to Columbia University Administrators

BANNER ELK, N.C. – Today, Representative Virginia Foxx (R-NC) issued the following statement regarding Columbia University’s $200 million agreement with the Trump administration. “Last April, on the steps of Low Library at Columbia University, I stood alongside Speaker Johnson, several of my Republican colleagues, and Jewish students to call attention to the university’s invertebrate response to antisemitic demonstrations and egregious lack of protections given to Jewish students, faculty and staff. “The $200 million agreement between Columbia University and the Trump administration is certainly a good start, and I commend everyone involved in holding the university to account. However, Columbia is not absolved of its sins – its atonement is not said and done with simply through this agreement. The university has a very long way to go if it is to ever retain a shred of credibility or respect in the eyes of many – every time the university’s administrators move a muscle, I will be watching.” ###
