The Trump administration has delivered an extraordinary ultimatum to Columbia University, threatening to permanently end federal funding to the school unless it cedes control of an international studies department and implements sweeping changes to other policies.

The Trump administration brushed aside decades of precedent when it ordered Columbia University to oust the leadership of an academic department, a demand seen as a direct attack on academic freedom and a warning of what’s to come for other colleges facing federal scrutiny.

    We don’t have to exaggerate and make shit up to justify how we feel. That’s what the MAGA fucktards do.

    I’m not making shit up, this is just my experience dealing with academia (and not in the US to be clear). But thanks for informing me that the situation is different at Columbia University.
