Ira Stoll The NY Sun, Apr. 15, 2025 “Dr. Garber is so discredited that at this point that earlier this month, New York Congressman Ritchie Torres — a Democrat — showed up on a Saturday morning at Dr. Garber’s own synagogue at the liberal Democratic stronghold of Brookline, Massachusetts, to denounce Harvard’s failed leadership and […]

Liz Essley Whyte, Douglas Belkin and Sara Randazzo WSJ, Apr. 14, 2025 “Antisemitic protesters inflicting violence and taking over entire college campus buildings is not only a crude display of bigotry against Jewish Americans, but entirely disruptive to the intellectual inquiry and research that federal funding of colleges is meant to support.” Columbia University’s president […]
Vimal Patel NY Times, Apr. 14, 2025 “Harvard, for its part, has been under intense pressure from its own students and faculty to be more forceful in resisting the Trump administration’s encroachment on the university and on higher education more broadly.” The Trump administration acted quickly on Monday to punish Harvard University after it refused […]

“Since the passage of the 1964 Civil Rights Act, it has been a given that no entity that receives federal funding can engage in racial discrimination. Title VI of that act also encompasses discrimination on the basis of religion and ethnicity, something that administrations of both political parties, including those of Presidents Barack Obama, Joe Biden and […]
Joe Lockard Fathom Journal, Mar. 2025 “Part of the ‘scholasticide’ argument has become that it is now not just Gaza, but extends to US higher education, as the Trump administration seeks to decimate and control the intellectual and political life of universities.

But […]
Dion J. Pierre Algemeiner, Mar. 25, 2025 “During a mutinous meeting with angry faculty, Armstrong reportedly said, among other things, that the anti-mask ban — a policy that is widely supported by the Jewish community for achieving the same end as federal anti-Ku-Klux-Klan laws — will not be enacted.” Columbia University interim president Katrina Armstrong […]
Noah Rothman National Review, Mar. 25, 2025 “Whether because of institutional capture or its lethargic leadership, it had become unavoidably clear that Columbia could not restore a climate of free inquiry to its campus on its own. So, the Trump administration gave it a push.” By April of last year, it was clear that Columbia University […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Mar. 25, 2025 “If chants for violence against African Americans or Hispanics were routinely voiced—or takeovers of school buildings on behalf of the efforts of hate groups or terrorists targeting those groups, such as the Ku Klux Klan or neo-Nazis—had taken place, everyone knows what would have followed.” Progressive academics have been among […]

David M. Litman National Review, Feb. 13, 2025 “Since the October 7 attack, Mapheze repeatedly expressed support for the terror attack and glorified those who carried out the atrocities.” Mapheze Ahmad Yousef Saleh was recently listed as a graduate student at Georgetown University’s Center for Contemporary Arab Studies (CCAS). She also happens to be the daughter of Ahmed Yousef, who served […]
