they will start thinking, we're going to get our funding taken away in the same way that Columbia did.

It's like, if you're going to say that you're going to investigate anti-Semitism with like a vigor that no one has ever investigated it with before, and you...

The thing would be to beef up that staff so that they didn't have 20, 25 cases on their load, so that they could have those five to 10 complaints they were really focusing on.
