Feeling pretty good about my gut feeling
I'll be honest, I policed my own language in the post above. That is what this settlement does: forces us all to bend the knee to people who should neither be feared (but are) nor respected
24.07.2025 10:44 โ ๐ 0 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Critically, Columbia retains control over its academic and operational decisions. As set forth in the agreement: โNo provision of this agreement, individually or taken together, shall be construed as giving the United States authority to dictate faculty hiring, university hiring, admissions decisions, or the content of academic speech.โ This was our north star, and we did not waver from it. Columbiaโs governance remains in our control. The federal government will not dictate what we teach, who teaches, or which students we admit.
Shipmanโs statement to the community also comes one week after she announced that the University would be taking additional measures to combat antisemitism, including the adoption of the International Holocaust Remembrance Allianceโs definition of antisemitism, a partnership with the Anti-Defamation League to create trainings on antisemitism, and the appointment of Title VI and Title VII coordinators. Shipman added that the University will see more efforts to combat antisemitism โin the coming months.โ As part of the agreement with the federal government, the University has mutually agreed to an โindependent monitor and arbitrator as neutral third partiesโ that will require the government to go through specified steps if it is believed that the University is not abiding to the agreement, and vice versa. โIf the parties canโt agree, the matter goes to the arbitrator, and then, as needed, to court,โ Shipman wrote. According to the settlement, a designated University administrator will be โprincipally responsible for coordinating and overseeing complianceโ with the agreement and be given โsufficient supervisory authority and access to resources within Columbia to direct implementationโ of the settlement. This administrator will make regular reports to an independent monitor, including the transfer of data on rejected and admitted students. According to section VI of the settlement, Bart Schwartz of Guidepost Solutions, a private company that conducts investigations and provides monitoring, security, and technology consulting, will be the independent monitor and will โmonitor Columbiaโs complianceโ with the settlement.
How do you square Shipman's statement with the facts of the actual settlement

I don't listen to music while biking due to concussion and yesterday on the westside highway I had the profoundly obvious thought that Ahab is Don Quixote but that the giant is real.
