I think I understand why Columbia leadership did what they did. I'm still profoundly sad, angry, and ashamed that they did it. It's a dark day for my university, and for the USA.

I also think that the wider scientific community should refuse to review journal submissions from Columbia faculty and researchers as well as block any speaking engagements at conferences. There should be widespread consequences for the failure of Columbia to act with integrity.
I view it as similar to when the AP got kicked out of the press corps. The other journalists should have responded. If Columbia is free to continue to operate in academic circles while enabling a fascist government to attack higher ed then Trump will only attack more higher ed. Time to fight back.
It is generous to be understanding of a group that just tossed Higher Ed under the bus. Columbia admin holds none of the values required for an actual elite institution. They also completely demonstrated this lack of value with the pro-Palestinian protests. Fuck Columbia.

Do you feel shame about this too?
I wonder...
