đēđ¸ Columbia University Bans Masks on Campus After Donald Trump Freezes $400 Million Funding
In a major move, Columbia University has officially banned face masks on campus after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced the suspension of $400 million in funding to the university.
đĨ Trumpâs Reason Behind the Funding Freeze:
Donald Trump accused masked students of “using anonymity to fuel protests, violence, and create chaos on campus,” which he labeled as a threat to democracy. In response, the university decided to impose a strict mask ban to protect its academic environment and ensure safety.
Trump stated: “No more funding for institutions that allow masked agitators to disrupt American values.”
đ Universityâs Official Statement:
Columbia University authorities confirmed: “Effective immediately, wearing face masks on campus is prohibited. Any student or staff member found violating this rule will face strict disciplinary actions.”
đ° Funding and the Aftermath:
The $400 million funding freeze came after several student protests where participants wore masks to conceal their identities. Trumpâs administration claimed that such actions embolden illegal activities and undermine campus safety.
đ¯ Experts React:
While some experts argue the mask ban could limit freedom of expression, others believe it will help maintain law and order on campus.
