"NEW YORK (AP) — Columbia University agrees to numerous policy changes demanded by Trump administration as condition of restoring funding."

"A sad day for Columbia and for our democracy. 'Additionally the school believed there was considerable overlap between needed campus changes and Trump’s demands' has got to be one of the most depressing sentences ever written."

"This isn’t a real school anymore, it’s simply pretending to be one. I won’t be setting foot on that campus again.

Don’t call me asking for money either. Pathetic."

Ok money is important but so is a spine. That's what life-science tells us ... wait ... bans masks? Case closed.

I don't follow sports much, but I propose they change their name from The Columbia Lions

to

The Columbia Bootlickers!

@_L1vY_ @jameeljaffer But in all seriousness my heart goes out to the students- most of whom probably worked long and hard to go to what they thought was a good school.

I hope they all can transfer the heck out without hassle. I am sorry for their loss. And the faculty. OTOH any staff, alum or admin that went along with these changes can rot in hell.
