"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."

I hope that makes the university responsible for any outstanding student loans and are compelled to reimburse interest and principle. Naw. I'm sure there is a screw you clause buried in the paperwork. That's how we roll in the Untied Scams of Ambivalence.
