# The US government says it is considering scrapping more than 928-million-rand in contracts with New York’s Columbia University over allegations it failed to protect Jewish students. The prestigious Ivy League institution found itself at the centre of a firestorm last year over claims of anti-Semitism triggered by campus protests against Israel’s war in Gaza. Some Jewish students and campaign groups said Jewish students were intimidated and that authorities did not act to protect them.
