Columbia University’s President Resigns – The New York Times

Columbia University’s President Resigns – The New York Times
SHARE

Columbia University’s interim president, Katrina Armstrong, made headlines last week when she announced her resignation, just one week after the university agreed to a series of demands from the Trump administration. This decision came in the wake of the administration’s move to revoke approximately $400 million in grants and contracts to the university, a significant blow to a school that relies heavily on federal funding for its operations.

In response to the threat of losing this crucial funding, Columbia University acquiesced to the Trump administration’s demands, which included implementing stricter protest policies, increasing campus security measures, and implementing additional oversight of the university’s Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies Department. This decision was met with widespread criticism, with many viewing it as a sign of capitulation to government pressure.

Following Dr. Armstrong’s resignation, the university swiftly appointed Claire Shipman, the co-chair of its board of trustees, as the acting president. Dr. Armstrong, who had taken on the role of interim president in August following the departure of Nemat Shafik, faced criticism during her tenure for her handling of campus protests and accusations of antisemitism. She will now resume her previous position as the head of the university’s medical center.

As this story continues to develop, stay tuned for updates on the situation at Columbia University and the impact of the Trump administration’s actions on the institution.
