Education Secretary Linda McMahon calls Columbia’s $200M settlement with the Trump administration a ‘monumental victory’ and outlines new changes to the university.

Columbia University agreed to the Trump administration’s demands. Education Secretary Linda McMahon called it “a monumental victory for conservatives.”

Talks in Washington. An expert on negotiation. A balancing act. The university chose cooperation over litigation, a strategy both pilloried and praised.

Education Secretary Linda McMahon says she is pleased about the university's agreement with the Trump administration on 'Mornings with Maria.'

Linda McMahon stepped away from the Administration midway through Trump’s term to take on other priorities but remained a large financial and political backer of Trump.

U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon told ABC News she is “incredibly pleased” with the $220 million deal with Columbia University after months of negotiations.

The Trump administration's inability to clearly answer whether hiring a Holocaust denier as a faculty member highlights the dangers of the administration's "ideological litmus test" approach to viewpoint diversity in higher education.

Columbia University has agreed to pay $200 million to settle a lawsuit with President Donald Trump administration, which alleges that the New York City college failed to protect Jewish students during protests over Israel's ongoing offensive in Gaza.
