Last night, Columbia's president responded to the rumors that she'd agreed to hand over the university to the Trump administration. While other universities are fighting back, Columbia continues to be willing to give up more and more independence. youtu.be/Hh6b86WKu4M

Hands off our university!
Columbia may have signed its own death notice. Word has it that tomorrow Columbia will announce an agreement to formal oversight by Trump. This, if true, will signal the death of Columbia as we knew it - a premier teaching and research institution. I explain it here: youtube.com/shorts/W7Rr7...

Disciplinary proceedings at Columbia and Barnard are different. Here’s how they have evolved over the last year.
Over the past 18 months, campus protests have led to increased scrutiny of Columbia and Barnard’s disciplinary processes. As protesters’ cases are being adjudicated at their respective institutions, b...
