Well, the president has made it incredibly clear that he expects that students who are going to universities can go to a safe campus without discrimination. What we saw across Columbia and other universities was that The universities were not living up to that. I mean, when you see students barricaded in the library, people pounding on the glass saying death to USA, death to Israel.

And I've talked to students at Columbia, Jewish students who told me that they were afraid to go across campus. And a lot of the Jewish interaction on campus has been driven underground. And that's just not the way our education should be.

And I believe that they are on the right track so that we can now move forward. Does that mean that the money will be unfrozen? That means that we are on the right track now to make sure the final negotiations to unfreeze that money will be in place. Okay, so not yet. We're working on it. Okay.

We restructured the department and removed some departments. We did it, I think, very thoughtfully. We made sure that there was a great severance package in place for those people who are no longer with the department.

The best education, the president certainly believes, and I share that belief, is that that is closest to the child.
