Columbia University Faces Donor Pressure Over Handling of Pro-Palestinian Protests

Billionaire donors like Robert Kraft and Leon Cooperman are reconsidering their financial support for Columbia University due to rising tensions on campus over pro-Palestinian protests. Kraft expressed his refusal to support the university until it addresses and ends the ongoing protests, aiming to restore the lost respect and trust of its stakeholders. Columbia's president is facing pressure from donors, students, and government officials like Rep. Elise Stefanik over the university's response. Over one hundred protestors were arrested last week at Columbia's request after setting up an encampment.
