When students are snatched off the street for political beliefs, that’s not immigration enforcement—it’s repression. These are test cases for authoritarian rule. Silence now is complicity later.

The Contrarian · Words & Phrases We Could do Without
European universities offer ‘scientific asylum’ to US researchers fleeing Trump’s cuts.
Laced with terms such as “censorship” and “political interference”, the jobs advert was a-typical.
The promise of academic freedom, however, hinted at who it was aimed at: researchers in the US looking to flee the funding freezes, cuts and ideological impositions ushered in by Trump’s administration.
The Guardian · European universities offer ‘scientific asylum’ to US researchers fleeing Trump’s cuts.
"To begin with, universities should not be intimidated by the claim that public opinion is turning against them. Surveys that show a growing polarisation in public attitudes towards universities only demonstrate the effectiveness of decades of rightwing agitation. It is not a given that conservatives are inherently against universities. In other democracies, even voters of far-right parties are generally not anti-universities, even if they can be mobilized against bogeymen like “gender ideology”.
Universities must defend their truth-seeking and educational missions. They can point to obvious benefits, including economic ones. As the social scientist Adam Przeworski recently pointed out, “every dollar spent in publicly funded research yields $8.30 after eight years”. But universities must also insist that one cannot pick and chose research, as in: say medical research OK, but climate research not. They must not allow governments to dictate which departments are legitimate and which should be placed in “receivership”, a demand by the Trump administration on Columbia (Orbán – a “model”, according to Vance – showed the way by simply prohibiting gender studies).
Universities must avoid the trap of “we’ll sacrifice humanities if you leave us the hard sciences”. Humanities (and social sciences) are, after all, disciplines: its practitioners are disciplined by professional standards in what the former NYU president John Sexton calls “transparent, testable processes”. This is also why universities are governed by norms of academic freedom, not free speech; the latter is not subject to such processes."

Columbia has now agreed to appoint a senior vice provost to oversee the department.'

Under threat from #Trump, #ColumbiaUniversity agrees to policy changes
By JAKE OFFENHARTZ
Updated 7:19 PM EDT, March 21, 2025
NEW YORK (AP) — "Columbia University agreed Friday to put its Middle East studies department under new supervision and overhaul its rules for protests and student discipline, acquiescing to an extraordinary ultimatum by the Trump administration to implement those and other changes or risk losing billions of dollars in federal funding.
"As part of the sweeping reforms, the university will also adopt a new definition of antisemitism and expand 'intellectual diversity' by staffing up its Institute for Israel and Jewish Studies, according to a letter published Friday by the interim president, Katrina Armstrong.
"The announcement drew immediate condemnation from some faculty and free speech groups, who accused the university of caving to President Donald Trump’s largely unprecedented intrusion upon the school’s academic freedom.
"'Columbia’s #capitulation endangers #AcademicFreedom and #CampusExpression nationwide,' Donna Lieberman, the executive director of the New York #CivilLibertiesUnion said in a statement.
"Earlier this month, the Trump administration pulled $400 million in research grants and other funding over the university’s handling of protests against Israel’s military campaign in Gaza. As a precondition to restoring those funds — along with billions more in future grants — federal officials last week demanded the university immediately enact nine separate reforms to its academic and security policies."
