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.
