After Columbia University chose to comply with the Trump administration's demands, over 100 demonstrators rallied to protest against what they perceive as a crackdown on higher education. The American Association of University Professors organized the event, emphasizing that the administration's actions could instill fear in students and faculty. Critics believe that the loss of $400 million in federal grants could halt critical research projects, affecting studies on health and social issues. Faculty expressed concern over the broader implications of such governmental pressure on academic institutions.
Targeting Columbia is intended to strike fear into the hearts of university students, teachers and researchers everywhere, but we are unafraid.
Stopping these 150-plus studies, midstudy, is a huge waste of resources. It is research that affects all of us and our future.
