I'm a Columbia University alumnus. Firing the president is a good start

Leaders at Columbia forgot that higher education is meant to focus on finding truth, not trendy partisan fads. Now, the university must prove that it is willing to put learning first.

Is Columbia willing to create a culture of intellectual honesty, inquiry, and creativity?  William R. Gruver is a senior fellow at the Open Discourse Coalition and a professor emeritus at Bucknell University.

Minouche Shafik is a case in point. Throughout her time at the university’s helm, she pandered to the radicals who should have been immediately punished for their actions—or better yet, stopped in the first place. She never took meaningful steps to channel the emotion of students (and professors!) into constructive discussions about a better path forward. Instead, she allowed destruction to run rampant, for all the world to see.
