Columbia professors rally against university's concessions to Trump

More than 100 people rallied outside Columbia University to protest against its compliance with the Trump administration's demands, which they view as authoritarian interference in education.
The American Association of University Professors organized the protest, criticizing Columbia's capitulation and its broader implications for higher education.
Columbia University acquiesced to demands including banning masks at protests and placing a department in academic receivership, in response to a $400 million funding cut.
Experts warn that federal intervention like this could set a precedent affecting universities nationwide, impacting research funding and academic freedom.
