Ground Zero for Jew-hatred in America.
Use the wrong pronoun or wear a sombrero on Cinco de Mayo, and your university will consider bringing out the firehoses and German shepherds; but assault Jewish students and call for their extermination (along with the eradication of a sovereign nation), and the same university will defend your actions as representing the sacred right to free and open speech. Antisemitism has spread like ebola across American Academia. But there are at least three good reasons to single out Columbia.
The President of Columbia University has only has 1 well-cited publication in her life, in Oxford Econ Papers 1994. This paper is lifted almost entirely from a 1992 report coauthored with consultant not credited in the publication. This is wholesale intellectual theft, not subtle plagiarism.

Get rid of SAT’s, promote DEI and you get a school full of incompetent losers. Might as well have an incompetent loser run the place.

… because homework is “stressful”. After all, there are TikTok videos to post … don’t stress me out teach! Peter … you need to move to CA where our supermajority Leftist government carrrrreees about “the whole child”.
Or the perfect recruitment candidates for a modern day Sturmabteilung.
The old boys network of cronies that hire based on which Ivy league university people graduate from will likely die off as they pump out more useless grads. They should all be replaced with online alternatives unless they revert to quality institutions which would likely require a near complete replacement of faculty and complete replacement and drastic shrinking of administration. So, replacement with online alternatives is the best bet. They will be missed as much as the msm.
What will happen, is you will see a woman or a black person in a position of power and you will immediately think “idiot hire”. It’s unfair, it’s not right, and it’s starting to happen.
This exactly why I hate doing work at Universities.
One winter awhile back out of hundreds of cars a kid was changing his own oil in January .
I wasn’t long handing him some gloves, and smiling finding out he was going through for a mechanical engineer, and figured he’d be a good one.
Hundreds of cars and one kid showing some gumption.
Not hard to see why the country is drifting off into infinity.
