I, a very fancy professor at the state flagship university with a named lil mini endowment, teach in a room where my only option is to use chalkboards or a quite old manual projector and I must bring my laptop from home because there is no computer in the room. But sure, do this.
This will be an innovative new training space where educators will learn not just about how A.I. works, but how to use it wisely, safely and ethically. It will be a place where tech developers and educators can talk with each other, not past each other. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/08/t...

In a first for the Ivy League school, Columbia's new officers have the same powers of warrantless search and arrest as any other police officer under New York law. The state law permits the officers to use "physical force and deadly physical force in making an arrest or preventing an escape."
