“The board of trustees must realize that this is no longer just about Columbia…we can either succumb to authoritarianism or stand up against it. Columbia’s decisions will impact not just our present community, but the entire nation and world for decades to come.”

Columbia faculty (700+ signatures!) urges our Trustees to do 6 things: 1. Stand up for higher ed 2. Fight back against federal attacks (sue!) 3. Protect our students 4. Preserve academic freedom & fac governance 5. Affirm tenants of DEI 6. Protect research & provide backup funding shorturl.at/6OLTJ

To Columbia’s trustees: Protect the future of higher education

Even before coming to power this year, President Donald Trump’s administration made its plans for targeting American higher education abundantly clear. <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0FR65Ci...

It appears that 2 things, Harvard’s strong stance resisting Trump’s demands & negative publicity toward Columbia’s potential agreement to similar demands, have resulted in the postponement of any announcement from Columbia re its capitulation to Trump. Let’s see how this goes.

What happened last night at Columbia was nothing short of catastrophic. In the blink of an eye hundreds of grants disappeared. In a particularly vile showing of this administration’s complete contempt for the long-term health and well-being of this nation, training grants were completely gutted.

Imagine if university presidents instead of cowering, called up their faculty too speak in a round-the-clock marathon across the nation about how their research serves every American who has ever faced illness and disease.

Some higher ed organizations who are loudly circling the wagons against federal funding cuts were oddly silent or circumspect about the earlier attacks on CRT and DEI. I wish there was a better understanding that these attacks are coming because we failed to repel those.

If you are on a study section that will not be reviewing diversity fellowships but will be reviewing "regular" fellowships, your next move is clear. Do not participate in the review unless all submissions can be reviewed together. Reclassify diversity grants as "regular" grants & review them all

My student's diversity F31 has been pulled from study section even though it's the SAME APPLICATION as regular F31s, normally reviewed together in the same panel. Throwing out all the applications from URMs while the ones from white/privileged students get to be reviewed is blatant discrimination.
