Trump s ░░░░░░░░ demands in order to ░░░░░░░░ four hundred million dollars ░░░░░░░░ federal funding But what ░░░░░░░░ those demands Will Some ░░░░░░░░ the highlights include banning ░░░░░░░░ admission reforms holding student ░░░░░░░░ accountable for the protests ░░░░░░░░ a definition for anti ░░░░░░░░ and placing department stunning ░░░░░░░░ cultures under academic receivership ░░░░░░░░ of these demands are ░░░░░░░░ s campaign promises made ░░░░░░░░ and 20 20 three ░░░░░░░░ time has come to ░░░░░░░░ our once great educational ░░░░░░░░ from the radical left ░░░░░░░░ the American tradition and ░░░░░░░░ civilization protecting free speech ░░░░░░░░ wasteful administrative positions that ░░░░░░░░ up costs incredibly removing ░░░░░░░░ boxes diversity equity and ░░░░░░░░ bureaucrats So Columbia university ░░░░░░░░ t alone the president ░░░░░░░░ taking aim at his ░░░░░░░░ mater this week administration ░░░░░░░░ an implant to pause ░░░░░░░░ hundred and seventy five ░░░░░░░░ dollars in federal funding ░░░░░░░░ the university of Pennsylvania ░░░░░░░░ the school s policies ░░░░░░░░ transgender athletes A pen ░░░░░░░░ a major focal point ░░░░░░░░ 20 20 two when ░░░░░░░░ had a transgender see

seventy five ░░░░░░░░ What account for nearly ░░░░░░░░ percent of federal funding ░░░░░░░░ does receive In fact ░░░░░░░░ eight Ivy League schools ░░░░░░░░ hundreds of millions in ░░░░░░░░ funds ever a year ░░░░░░░░ threats against some of ░░░░░░░░ funds have universities across ░░░░░░░░ country saying they ll ░░░░░░░░ making some changes The ░░░░░░░░ s top universities are ░░░░░░░░ to trouser man s ░░░░░░░░ off workers imposing hiring ░░░░░░░░ shutting down laboratories and ░░░░░░░░ federal investigations and many ░░░░░░░░ scrubbing diversity equity and ░░░░░░░░ policies from their websites ░░░░░░░░ can counseling related events ░░░░░░░░ us now to discuss ░░░░░░░░ impact on students who ░░░░░░░░ these schools is ileana ░░░░░░░░ a freshman at Columbia ░░░░░░░░ great to have you ░░░░░░░░ you so much for ░░░░░░░░ here Thank you for ░░░░░░░░ me morning good morning ░░░░░░░░ as you well know ░░░░░░░░ know the argument being ░░░░░░░░ on the right is ░░░░░░░░ the federal government is ░░░░░░░░ funding schools across the ░░░░░░░░ to teach students to ░░░░░░░░ hyper critical of America ░░░░░░░░ ensuring the safety and ░░░░░░░░ of Jewish students Specifically ░░░░░░░░ campus What s been ░░░░░░░░ first hand experience My ░░░░░░░░ has been that that ░░░░░░░░ has been the case ░░░░░░░░ don t know that ░░░░░░░░ of the teachers at ░░░░░░░░ school or necessarily pushing ░░░░░░░░ agenda but I definitely ░░░░░░░░ there are some teachers ░░░░░░░░ have participated in these ░░░░░░░░ and you have brought ░░░░░░░░ opinions into the classroom ░░░░░░░░ ways that are very ░░░░░░░░ and and not really ░░░░░░░░ and that has made ░░░░░░░░ really uncomfortable to be ░░░░░░░░ student on campus These ░░░░░░░░ a few of the ░░░░░░░░ s demands we have ░░░░░░░░ them a little earlier ░░░░░░░░ well Banning mass admission ░░░░░░░░ holding student groups accountable ░░░░░░░░ protests formalizing a definition ░░░░░░░░ anti Semitism what s ░░░░░░░░ the reaction to some ░░░░░░░░ these moves specifically on ░░░░░░░░ People have been specifically ░░░░░░░░ upset about the mask ░░░░░░░░ policy because these protesters ░░░░░░░░ their main way of ░░░░░░░░ of getting away with ░░░░░░░░ is hiding their faces ░░░░░░░░ refusing to speak to ░░░░░░░░ and not showing their ░░░░░░░░ in any way shape ░░░░░░░░ form And so this ░░░░░░░░ man is really important ░░░░░░░░ order for people to ░░░░░░░░ see the proper consequences ░░░░░░░░ these protests because these ░░░░░░░░ are really harmful not ░░░░░░░░ a Jewish students but ░░░░░░░░ all students at the ░░░░░░░░ who are just trying ░░░░░░░░ learn and they re ░░░░░░░░ trying to go to ░░░░░░░░ do and expanding on ░░░░░░░░ a little bit however ░░░░░░░░ personally made you feel ░░░░░░░░ and why would you ░░░░░░░░ experience sure one thing ░░░░░░░░ particular that I remember ░░░░░░░░ during the occupation of ░░░░░░░░ call at barnard a ░░░░░░░░ weeks ago Everyone was ░░░░░░░░ masks everyone was wearing ░░░░░░░░ everyone was wearing confuse ░░░░░░░░ it was really hot ░░░░░░░░ the room and yet ░░░░░░░░ who refuse to drink ░░░░░░░░ because they didn t ░░░░░░░░ to take off their ░░░░░░░░ and any time that ░░░░░░░░ did drink water their ░░░░░░░░ was immediately obscured by ░░░░░░░░ black umbrella and these ░░░░░░░░ occupied the be hours ░░░░░░░░ hours and when they ░░░░░░░░ finally kicked out of ░░░░░░░░ building Nobody was asked ░░░░░░░░ identify themselves and so ░░░░░░░░ people are all still ░░░░░░░░ around campus and we ░░░░░░░░ that they re probably ░░░░░░░░ to do this again ░░░░░░░░ know we ve only ░░░░░░░░ about a minute laugh ░░░░░░░░ I I wanna squeeze ░░░░░░░░ questions in if Columbia ░░░░░░░░ the terms to keep ░░░░░░░░ funding How did you ░░░░░░░░ these moore s changing ░░░░░░░░ culture on campus and ░░░░░░░░ are you make of ░░░░░░░░ president making this a ░░░░░░░░ or ah I really ░░░░░░░░ that this has been ░░░░░░░░ priority because it s ░░░░░░░░ our experience for the ░░░░░░░░ year and a half ░░░░░░░░ not more at the ░░░░░░░░ and knowing that it ░░░░░░░░ a priority is very ░░░░░░░░ and reassuring And I ░░░░░░░░ that if these demands ░░░░░░░░ met by the university ░░░░░░░░ ll be a safer ░░░░░░░░ for g who s ░░░░░░░░ campus and it ll ░░░░░░░░ just be a community ░░░░░░░░ people really are learning ░░░░░░░░ opposed to skipping class ░░░░░░░░ protest and and you ░░░░░░░░ using their time on ░░░░░░░░ for the wrong reasons ░░░░░░░░ this tuition is being ░░░░░░░░ for us to learn ░░░░░░░░ campus And I think ░░░░░░░░ hasn t been The ░░░░░░░░ learning environment for the ░░░░░░░░ year and a half ░░░░░░░░ ileana rahman Appreciate is ░░░░░░░░ out it s brave ░░░░░░░░ do so Thank you ░░░░░░░░ still ahead,
