## Resource

Columbia University is under fire after revelations that while it suspended pro-Palestinian student groups and cracked down on Gaza solidarity protests, it quietly funneled hundreds of thousands of dollars to pro-Israel organizations — including $100,000 and $75,000 grants to groups like the Israel on Campus Coalition and AIPAC affiliates. This financial discrepancy intensifies scrutiny of the school’s handling of campus politics, especially as it faces a federal lawsuit from student Khalil, who claims university leadership ignored threats to Palestinian students and contributed to his arrest. Columbia defends its actions as compliant with IRS rules and focused on campus safety, but critics argue the funding practices reveal a troubling double standard — raising urgent questions about institutional accountability, free speech, and student rights.
