Stefanik has issued a statement regarding President Trump's decision to defund Columbia University. The statement emphasizes the administration's commitment to holding universities accountable for their actions, particularly in relation to the protection of Jewish communities.

"President Trump is delivering on his promise to hold universities like Columbia accountable by defunding them for failing to protect their Jewish communities," Stefanik stated. She also expressed pride in her contributions as part of the Education Committee, which she claims played a role in the resignation of the former president of Columbia University. "I’m proud of my efforts on the Education Committee which led to the FORMER Columbia University President’s resignation and I applaud President Trump for ensuring that hardworking taxpayer dollars do not fund these cesspools of antisemitism."
