Dear Dr. Armstrong:
March 13, 2025
Please consider this a formal response to the current situation on the campus of Columbia University and a follow up to our letter of March 7, 2025, informing you that the United States Government would be pausing or terminating federal funding. Since that date your counsel has asked to discuss β€œnext steps.”
U.S. taxpayers invest enormously in U.S. colleges and universities, including Columbia University, and it is the responsibility of the federal government to ensure that all recipients are responsible stewards of federal funds. Columbia University, however, has fundamentally failed to protect American students and faculty from antisemitic violence and harassment in addition to other alleged violations of Title VI and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Pursuant to your request, this letter outlines immediate next steps that we regard as a precondition for formal negotiations regarding Columbia University’s continued financial relationship with the United States government. Please ensure and document compliance with the following no later than the close of business on Wednesday, March 20, 2025:
● Enforce existing disciplinary policies. The University must complete disciplinary proceedings for Hamilton Hall and encampments. Meaningful discipline means expulsion or multi-year suspension.
● Primacy of the president in disciplinary matters. Abolish the University Judicial Board (UJB) and centralize all disciplinary processes under the Office of the President. And

Abolish the University Judicial Board (UJB) and centralize all disciplinary processes under the Office of the President. And

empower the Office of the President to suspend or expel students with an appeal process
through the Office of the President.
● Time, place, and manner rules. Implement permanent, comprehensive time, place, and
manner rules to prevent disruption of teaching, research, and campus life.
● Mask ban. Ban masks that are intended to conceal identity or intimidate others, with
exceptions for religious and health reasons. Any masked individual must wear their Columbia ID on the outside of their clothing (this is already the policy at Columbia’s Irving Medical Center).
● Deliver plan to hold all student groups accountable. Recognized student groups and individuals operating as constituent members of, or providing support for, unrecognized groups engaged in violations of University policy must be held accountable through formal investigations, disciplinary proceedings, and expulsion as appropriate.
● Formalize, adopt, and promulgate a definition of antisemitism. President Trump’s Executive Order 13899 uses the IHRA definition. Anti-β€œZionist” discrimination against Jews in areas unrelated to Israel or Middle East must be addressed.
● Empower internal law enforcement. The University must ensure that Columbia security has full law enforcement authority, including arrest and removal of agitators who foster an unsafe or hostile work or study environment, or otherwise interfere with classroom instruction or the functioning of the university.
● MESAAS Department – Academic Receivership. Begin the process of placing the Middle East, South Asian, and African Studies department under academic receivership for a minimum of five years. The University must provide a full plan, with date certain deliverables, by the March 20, 2025, deadline.
● Deliver a plan for comprehensive admissions reform. The plan must include a strategy to reform undergraduate admissions, international recruiting, and graduate admissions practices to conform with federal law and policy.

This is the letter sent to Columbia University by the Trump Administration demanding it implement directives as a condition to even negotiate federal funding. Clear case of "jawboning" in an effort to crush free speech and academic freedom.

Not that I’m here to debate the origins of Lyme but the article pretty much ends acknowledging there is no evidentiary connection between contemporary Lyme and the historic bacteria discussed. Beyond that, having an ancient evolutionary antecedent does not preclude it’s modification in a lab.

I’ve heard Lyme disease had much the same origin. But it’ll probably never come out for sure.

Yes they are - I think this debate is illuminating. You don’t have to like Sam’s politics but this is an interesting glimpse into Trump’s base.

🚨 Everyone needs to call their Dem Senator right now. They are starting to cave.

Tell them:
1. Vote NO on Cloture
AND
2. Vote NO on the Republican spending bill.

Don’t let them pivot to reconciliation. GOP doesn’t need Dem votes on that and they know it.

TODAY is the showdown.

I think it’s the difference between being naked and nude. Naked I think is without clothes - it’s more about objectifying and fetishizing the body. Desire. Whereas a nude is about something else - perhaps a form - beauty - vulnerability.

This is just mask off. It’s been this way for a long time. Just covered up with pleasant notions of objectivity.

I love my stove top espresso but you’ve got to do it right. For everyday use I have a coffee ninja that makes the right brew every time. (Tea too).

That’s the main reason I left - 95% of my feed was content being pushed at me … people I didn’t follow…. Groups I didn’t join… ads I didn’t want. All the while the friends, events, and groups I did want were no where to be seen. Better to start fresh.
