Columbia University has agreed to pay $200m (£147m) to the Trump administration over accusations that it had failed to protect its Jewish students.
The settlement, which will be paid to the federal government over three years, was announced in a statement released by the university on Wednesday.
In exchange, the government has agreed to return some of the $400m in federal grants it froze or terminated in March.
Columbia was the first school targeted by the administration for its alleged failures to curb antisemitism amid last year's Israel-Gaza war protests on its New York City campus. It had already agreed to a set of demands from the White House in April.
