Since our administration would not fight the Trump administration in court, the faculty had to assume the responsibility of doing so to protect academic freedom. www.reuters.com/world/us/col...

My son did his MBA at Columbia from Canada. He was there the first time the mango mobster was elected, he and many others had their visas pulled and came back to Toronto. This is exactly who trump is. Will never understand why murica rushed to give him all three houses. But they love him....

It may not just be the fact that Trump is ordering, Columbia had a massive disciplinary issue and chaos on campus and if it kept going like that someone, probably somone Jewish, was going to get killed. This way the avoide court and get their problem solved. Its not ideal but hey

Have you seen our campus recently? It is swarming with security; the stories of "unrest" are vast exaggerations by the GOP et al. Students have told me they feel unsafe because of the heavy police presence, not because of their fellow classmates protesting.

Well tragically its called the pendulum swing. Too far in one direction has a reaction of too far in the reaction. Perhaps the only physical laws that happens again and again and again in politics. This all started when some brain stems had the idea to try and control who would access campuses

Any administration who facilitated the cowardly surrender must be replaced. That'll begin the process of reputational reparation.

It’s very clear that those who hold power want to keep that power at any cost. It’s up to the rest of us collectively to do the hard work. I’m glad you’re stepping up.
