Columbia Yields to Trump in Battle Over Federal Funding

Archive link: https://archive.ph/1elJh

Columbia University will cede to President Trump’s far-reaching demands in negotiations over $400 million in federal funding he revoked this month, according to a memo from the school to the administration.

Columbia agreed to ban masks, empower 36 campus police officers with new powers to arrest students and appoint a senior vice provost with broad authority to oversee the department of Middle East, South Asian and African Studies as well as the Center for Palestine Studies.


Yikes. We are moving into fascism faster day by day.
