    It can’t be overstated how much Columbia has fucked up this moment. They caved to Elise ‘Great Replacement Theory’ Stefanik’s fake antisemitism hearings stoked that fire, their original unnecessary crackdown on students is largely the cause of the broader unrest on campuses, and now their capitulation signals the weakness of American educational institutions.

    It doesn’t look like they’re going to course correct any time soon either, so hopefully people will reevaluate their position as an elite school.

      Also their alleged revoking of people’s degree essentially makes Columbia’s diplomas being this close to be ignored by employers

        I expect it makes students think twice about enrolling too, if your degree can be taken away because the university doesn’t like something you said.
