Breaking Columbia University had just suspended, expelled and revoked degrees from 22 students for protesting genocide in Palestine.

A university degree is a qualification, not a morality clause. A university revoking degrees for "wrong think" makes a total mockery of its mission. This is also the most authoritarian, "right- woke" nonsense.

A message by Naeema about the difficulty of finishing university due to financial constraints: "It hurts when you reach the end of your university journey, after years of effort, sleepless nights, and hardship, only to stop —not because you failed, but because you cannot afford to pay. The certificate becomes a dream suspended by a number and a bank account, and every step forward is tied to an amount beyond your ability. What breaks the heart the most is being ready to celebrate your hard work, yet reality asks for a price for that joy, while all you have left is patience. Our exhaustion is not small, and the pain of waiting is heavier than any exam." - Naeema

Trump Wants to Cut Tribal College Funding by Nearly 90%, Putting Them at Risk of Closing
—

ProPublica found that Congress was underfunding tribal colleges by a quarter-billion dollars per year. Rather than fixing the problem, proposed federal funding cuts unveiled this week would devastate the schools, tribal education leaders say.

When George Mason University president Gregory Washington received notice that the Trump administration had opened an investigation into complaints of antisemitism, he was “perplexed.”

But there are signs it may be part of a coordinated campaign to oust him.

A split image collage with a call to action. The left side shows a person in a hijab looking out at a sunset over the ocean. The text "Help Naeema's future ❤️" is overlaid in a bright green banner at the top left. The right side contains two images and text. The top right text reads "Naeema: 'It hurts when you reach the end of your university journey, after years of effort, sleepless nights, and hardship, only to stop -not because you failed, but because you cannot afford to pay.'". Below this quote is an image of a person in a graduation gown and cap, obscuring their face with the cap. The bottom right displays a QR code, a GoFundMe link, an Instagram handle, and a Mastodon link. The overall context is a fundraising appeal for someone named Naeema's educational future.

Hundreds of scholars have had their visas revoked and dozens have been detained.

What’s exceptional about Öztürk’s case is how her detention was caught on camera.

What’s scariest, immigration lawyers say, is how little is known about all the others.

Decades after patients first warned Columbia University that one of its doctors sexually abused them, the school is acknowledging a culture of silence that allowed the abuse to continue and some school administrators are finally facing consequences.
