Columbia University's acting president Claire Shipman emphasized the school is at a crucial tipping point regarding its federal funding. Addressing increasing challenges, she stated the university aims to re-establish a cooperative relationship with the government to preserve its research excellence. Shipman acknowledged the government's regulatory role and expressed commitment to aligning with legal stipulations while addressing shared community concerns. Experts, like Steve McGuire, commended her responsible leadership in navigating this complex political landscape, particularly in light of recent protests that have drawn national attention.
"Columbia recognizes the real-world political situation that it is in," a fellow at the American Council of Trustees and Alumni, Steve McGuire, tells the Sun.
Ms. Shipman expressed her intention to restore the school's "essential" research partnership with the federal government and emphasized that the "government has the ability to regulate us, and we are committed to following the law."
