Columbia University has reached a deal with the Trump administration to pay more than $220 million to the federal government to restore federal research money that was canceled in the name of combating antisemitism on campus, the university announced Wednesday. Under the agreement, the Ivy League school will pay the $200 million settlement over three years to the federal government, the university said. It will also pay $21 million to settle investigations brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
The State Department says it's investigating whether Harvard University will remain part of a government program that allows foreign nationals to take part in cultural and education exchange programs. The move Wednesday is the latest in a series of inquires by the Trump administration targeted the Ivy League school. Harvard already has filed a lawsuit challenging $2.6 billion in federal funding cuts. And the school accuses the administration of waging a retaliation campaign after Harvard rejected demands from a federal antisemitism task force in April. The State Department isn't saying why it's investigating Harvard’s eligibility to take part in the Exchange Visitor Program.

About two-thirds of U.S. adults expect the new tax law will help the wealthy, according to the survey. Most — about 6 in 10 — think it will do more to hurt than help low-income people. About half say it will do more harm than good for middle-class people and people like them. Republicans have already begun airing advertisements framing the legislation as a tax cut for all Americans, but the new poll indicates that they have some persuading to do.
