Well that's a thorough summary. One of the best articulations of university governance for a public audience that I've seen in a while.
Screenshot of article which reads: This  is how you end up with an elite university where the president can drive his car into a group of students and be lauded by the board. The president and the trustees are on the same team. The students are on the other team. The trustees know Kotlikoff will reliably enforce their agenda, including cracking down on protests that might be bad for cashflow. It almost doesn’t matter what he does; if there’s any conceivable defense, they’ll keep him in place. (If not, they’ll replace him with someone else who can talk about loving free speech while moving to crush it in practice.) Kotlikoff, after all, has already proved his worth: It was on his watch that Cornell agreed to pay $60 million to the U.S. government to get Trump to unfreeze its research grants.

🚨🚨🚨 DOJ sent a grand jury subpoena from the Northern District of Texas to NYU Langone for all patient records of trans youth. DOJ is engaged in forum and judge shopping in Texas in a blatantly unlawful bid to shut down gender affirming care in blue states. nyulangone.org/public-notic...

A screenshot of a webpage notice from NYU Langone Health titled "Information for NYU Langone Health Patients." The full text of the notice reads:
"On May 7, 2026, NYU Langone Hospitals (“NYULH”) was one of several institutions that received a grand jury subpoena from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in the Northern District of Texas. Among other requests, the subpoena directs NYULH to provide information pertaining to patients under the age of 18 who received gender affirming care at NYULH between 2020-2026, as well as the names of NYULH providers and others who were involved in offering such care at NYULH in that timeframe.
Pursuant to the New York State Shield Law, any entity in New York State that receives a request for information regarding legally protected health activity, such as the provision of reproductive health care or gender-affirming care, must make a reasonable attempt to notify the individuals to whom that request pertains at least 30 days before complying with or providing information in response to the request. More information about the Shield Law is available here.
We understand that these developments may be concerning to our patients, providers, and others. Please know that NYU Langone takes the privacy of your protected health information very seriously and we are evaluating our response to the subpoena. We will post updates at this website.
For any questions or concerns please email TYHPsubpoena@nyulangone.org."

Absolutely egregious paraphrase
Douthat: So it's ironic? Or is it Marxist revolutionary rhetoric?
And I just want to bring this to a fine point. There's the great case of Luigi Mangione, who is charged with murdering the C.E.O. of UnitedHealthcare in broad daylight in New York City. And you're going to tell me that you've always said that murder is wrong, and that Luigi Mangione should not have committed murder, but you've talked a lot about Luigi.
Piker: Of course. I think it's one of the most consequential instances of adventurism, which I always will say is wrong, because I think it invokes social instability, which I think is bad, in general, to exist underl
But what I try to always do, especially with the Luigi Mangione case, is to talk about the concept, for example, of social murder: the notion of our systems that already exist, like the privatization of
