"Columbia University leadership made a series of concessions to the Trump administration on Thursday following an extraordinary letter that listed nine demands it expected the university to make if it did not want its federal funding to be pulled.

On Thursday, the university announced it was expelling, suspending and revoking the degrees of 22 students following last year’s Hamilton Hall protest, fulfilling one of the nine demands issued in a letter from the Trump administration to Columbia."

Revokes degrees??? The other shit is fucked but revoking degrees is way over the line. Burn the place to the ground.

In the good old days, students and faculty would be planning walkouts at this point...
