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.
