NPR - Columbia University has settled with the federal government and will pay over $220 million to resolve multiple investigations. The settlement, which comes after months-long negotiations, will also restore access to hundreds of millions of dollars in frozen research funding. The university will pay $200 million over the span of three years to the government and another $21 million to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission...
Columbia’s decision to settle is a different approach from Harvard University, which has rejected the government’s demands and sued the administration, says NPR’s Elissa Nadworny. Todd Wolfson, the president of the American Association of University Professors, says the agreement is a devastating blow to academic freedom and freedom of speech at Columbia.
