I heard there was a serious deficit a couple weeks ago

They will never have a shortage of rich kids with rich parents who care more about the degree than the university's politics. In fact, they will now have more applications from rich conservatives on principle alone.

Diminishing returns, shallow pool

The end goal of the American capitalist university system is zero students, infinite wealth and a rubber stamp for rich children to enter the exploitation machine. Columbia is simply part of the vanguard

they inevitably sow whirlwinds, more children like Isra Hirsi (daughter of Ilhan Omar) and more Luigis, they can attempt to enclose and indoctrinate their scions, but they not only weaken their own class, but reap ten thousand rebellions

Doesn't matter if wealth accumulation continues apace.

What about the United States?

Their complicit president was booed during her speech at commencement.

Will there be enough students to have a graduation next year?

Pretty soon it'll just me MAGAts and that degree won't mean shit

Their class size is only fifteen hundred. I'm sure theyll find people.

I was just thinking how the same thing has happened to Target, Tesla and the Washington Post for the same reason.

I feel so sorry for their alumni. I’m an Ivy grad and I’d be HUMILIATED if this was my school.

Why would anyone enroll at Columbia after all this?

maggiekat.bsky.social•3 days ago

white racists will be the assumption

"where you going to college?"
"Columbia"
hesitation "Ah, I see"
and everyone exchanges a look

dianenyc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well Elon did too. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Whoa, that's so creepy!

My oldest said Columbia was on his list of colleges he might apply to, and my husband and I both said “nope, not gonna happen.” To be fair he wasn’t aware of everything going on there, but he gets it now.

How long before the march of the stormtroopers turns into this? I suspect not long.

UCLA doesn’t seem to be getting as much press, but they certainly seem to be trying to compete with Columbia…

They allowed grown men from off-campus, with weapons, to attack protesters in tents for hours while the cops they called looked on and did nothing to protect the students. I don't know how they're remaining under the radar.

As an Angeleno they've been sus for a long time. Esp their affiliated docs
