US: Columbia University Fires 180 Employees Following Trump Cuts

Columbia University announced the layoff of approximately 180 employees following a $400 million cut in federal research grants by the Trump administration, which accused the institution of failing to protect Jewish students. Most of the dismissed employees work at the institution's medical center. Acting President Professor Claire Shipman said these were "thoughtful and painful decisions" due to budget shortages, affecting not only research infrastructure but also "our most precious resource - our people."
