"Columbia University leadership made a series of concessions to the Trump administration on Thursday following an extraordinary letter that listed nine demands it expected the university to make if it did not want its federal funding to be pulled.

On Thursday, the university announced it was expelling, suspending and revoking the degrees of 22 students following last year’s Hamilton Hall protest, fulfilling one of the nine demands issued in a letter from the Trump administration to Columbia."

    Pssst, hey Columbia University… The MAGAs still hate and want to kill Academia. Bowing to their pressure now won’t save you from them in the future. It just makes you look stupid and will make your fellow concentration camp prisoners beat the living shit out of you before the guards do.

      Yeah, the impacts to the university for bowing to these demands will last well past the trump administration.
