Columbia University, previously King’s College, predates the US Dept. of “Education”. In fact, the school predates the local freemasonic rebellion against the freemasonic King of England. Things were well before, and it is the school’s fault for falling into the trap set by the GAE. Now, in addition to losing imperial funding, Columbia is starting to lose academic autonomy.

A report by the Associated Press (AP) on Friday reveals that the Trump administration disregarded longstanding precedent by ordering Columbia University to remove the leadership of an academic department—a move widely viewed as a direct assault on academic freedom and a warning to other universities under federal scrutiny.

Government officials instructed the university to place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department under “academic receivership” for at least five years. This directive was one of several conditions tied to federal funding, including the $400 million withdrawn over accusations of antisemitism.

“It’s an escalation of a kind that is unheard of,” said Joan Scott, a historian and member of the academic freedom committee of the American Association of University Professors (AAUP), “Even during the McCarthy period in the United States, this was not done.”

Why??? “Israel”, of course! Again, Philip Giraldi has more on the real control over the dying, illiterate empire.
