Columbia University students are stepping into a new campus environment Monday after their university announced sweeping policy changes while they were away on spring break, seemingly bowing to the Trump administration’s demands over the release of $400 million in federal funding to the school.

Columbia University students have returned to campus shortly after the Ivy League school agreed to a host of policy changes. The directives came from the Trump administration, which pulled $400 million in research grants following the university’s response to alleged antisemitic protests on campus in 2024.

U.S. President Donald Trump's administration on Monday described Columbia University's response to government demands to tighten rules on campus protests as a "promising first step" towards regaining federal grants and contracts.

Three federal agencies on Monday said they welcomed the policy changes announced Friday at Columbia University, following the Trump administration’s revocation of $400 million in federal funding over campus protests.
