    Carville rips Columbia over Trump settlement:
    �I�ve never seen such cowards in my life�
    07/25/25

    Democratic strategist James Carville
    ripped Columbia University for agreeing
    to pay $221 million to President Trump�s
    administration to restore the school�s
    federal funding.

    �You were talking about Paramount and
    how they collapsed � the biggest cavers
    in the world is Columbia University,�
    Carville said during a Thursday night
    appearance on Fox News�s �Jesse Watters
    Primetime.�

    �I�ve never seen such cowards in my
    life. My hat is off to Harvard; at
    least they have guts,� Carville added.

    Columbia University announced Wednesday
    that it had agreed to a $200 million
    settlement with the federal government,
    which will be paid out over the next
    three years, and $21 million to the
    U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
    Commission.

    �This agreement marks an important
    step forward after a period of
    sustained federal scrutiny and
    institutional uncertainty,� acting
    Columbia University President Claire
    Shipman said.

    Columbia�s deal was criticized by
    some Democrats in Congress, including
    alum Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.).

    �[M]y alma mater has allowed a once
    highly-respected institution to
    succumb to the Trump Administration�s
    coercive and exploitative tactics,�
    Nadler said. �Columbia has effectively
    waived the white flag of surrender in
    its battle at the heart of the Trump
    Administration�s war on higher
    education and academic freedom.�

    They're renaming Columbia to 'Trump University' next year.
