Columbia professors sent a letter to the university's president outlining items that should be included in a deal with the White House.

Columbia University’s settlement with the Trump administration is making waves across higher education as the White House indicates it wants the agreement to be a roadmap for other colleges.

A deal could involve a fine similar to that outlined in Columbia’s Wednesday settlement with the Trump administration.

Columbia University announced on Wednesday that it has reached a deal with the Trump administration to resolve several federal probes into allegations that it had violated anti-discrimination laws, following months of negotiation to restore federal funding to the school.

U.S. Education Secretary Linda McMahon told ABC News she is “incredibly pleased” with the $220 million deal with Columbia University after months of negotiations.

A deal to resolve allegations that the university failed to protect Jewish students from harassment is expected to include a fine of about $200 million.

Columbia win has paved the way for Trump team to elecit hundreds of millions from other top schools, including Cornell, Brown, Duke and Northwestern

Trump, who has halted billions in research grants to a slew of schools, has said he envisions the Columbia deal as the first of many such agreements. His education secretary, Linda McMahon, called it a blueprint for other institutions to follow.

Talks in Washington. An expert on negotiation. A balancing act. The university chose cooperation over litigation, a strategy both pilloried and praised.
