Ohio State president says Ivy League schools in ‘survival mode’ after $221M Columbia deal

Ohio State University President Ted Carter stated that Ivy League institutions are in “survival mode” following Columbia University’s $221 million settlement with the Trump administration. The deal reinstates over $400 million in previously blocked US federal funding, initially cut due to alleged inaction on antisemitism. Carter clarified Ohio State is not experiencing similar issues. The Hill reported Education Secretary Linda McMahon cited ideological concerns as a factor, with no admission of wrongdoing from Columbia.
