Columbia and Trump have a long history.

BTW, Columbia needs to grow a pair and fight back. Georgetown offers an example. These targeted budget cuts are illegal.

Indeed.
Why are other universities silent in condemning Trump’s attacks on Columbia?

If university leaders allow themselves to be bullied, how do we expect any other institutions to stand up?

I think you'll see something if their current genuflection isn't viewed as sufficient. I can't say I blame them for capitulating thus far, even if they won a specific suit the administration could fuck with them in myriad ways, renegotiate their indirects, award far fewer grants, crawl up their ass over title VI stuff (which they're doing anyway).
