  3. "At Seventeen" is a song by American singer-songwriter #JanisIan from her seventh studio album #BetweenTheLines. #Columbia released it in July 1975 as the album's second single. Ian wrote the lyrics on the basis of a #NewYorkTimes article and used a #samba instrumental, and Brooks Arthur produced the final version. A #pop and #softRock ballad, the song is about a social outcast in #highSchool. Critics have regarded "At Seventeen" as a type of #anthem.

    TITLE: Whistleblower Alleges White House Improperly Targeted Top Universities

    URL: socialpsychology.org/client/re

    Source: CBS News - U.S. News

    The Trump administration pressured career civil rights attorneys to investigate allegations of antisemitism at the university campuses of Harvard, Columbia, and Brown even though there was no factual or legal basis to do so, according to a former Justice Department attorney. Veteran civil rights lawyer Haley Van Erem made this allegation as part of a whistleblower complaint made public on Tuesday by Maryland Representative Jamie Raskin.

  6. Art Blakey and the Jazz Messengers, Drum Suite, 1957 on Columbia

    Art Blakey is joined here (at least on the A-side) by Cuban drummers Candido and Sabu, with Ray Bryant, Oscar Pettiford, and Charles Wright. On the B side, Jackie McLean, Spanky DeBrest, Sam Dockery, and Bill Hardman join as the Jazz Messengers.

    My copy—via private sale—is a 1950s Columbia Hollywood plant pressing with the 6-eye label. The artist is credited as “The Art Blakey Percussion Ensemble” on both labels but the cover credits the B side to the Jazz Messengers.

  7. I spent decades at Columbia. I’m withdrawing my fall course due to its deal with #Trump
    Rashid Khalidi

    from #TheGuardian #Guardian
    Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDT

    Columbia’s capitulation has turned a #university that was once a site of free inquiry and learning into a shadow of its former self, an-anti university, a gated security zone with electronic entry controls, a place of fear and loathing, where faculty and students are told from on high what they can teach and say, under penalty of severe sanctions. Disgracefully, all of this is being done to cover up one of the greatest crimes of this century, the ongoing genocide in #Gaza, a crime in which #Columbia’s leadership is now fully complicit.

  8. Prominent historian cancels course at Columbia University over Trump deal

    #RashidKhalidi, in open letter published by #Guardian, accuses university of ‘capitulating’ with $200m settlement

    from #TheGuardian

    Fri 1 Aug 2025 06.00 EDT

    “Although I have retired, I was scheduled to teach a large lecture course on this topic in the fall as a “special lecturer” but I cannot do so under the conditions #Columbia has accepted by capitulating to the #Trump administration in June,” Khalidi wrote.

    Columbia announced last week that it would pay more than $200m in a settlement with the federal government after the White House claimed the university failed to adequately address alleged antisemitism on campus amid protests over the #Israel-#Gaza war, and threatened to pull significant funding.

    "After freezing all grants to #Columbia University last week, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) is now stopping grant and contract payments to Harvard University and four other universities [#Brown, #Northwestern, #Cornell, #WeillCornell Medical School]…The move will both block new funding and halt payments to investigators currently working on NIH projects…The Department of Health and Human Services (#HHS)…instructed NIH staff not to provide any communication to these institutions or to Columbia about whether the funds are frozen or why, according to the email."

  12. La Universidad de Columbia toma duras medidas contra los que abogan a favor de #Palestina

    La universidad cede ante la presión y los ataques a la libertad de expresión por parte de la administración Trump

    "El artículo a continuación fue publicado por primera vez el 25 de marzo de 2025 por el diario británico #TheGuardian."

    "En su breve ensayo, #Khalidi describe con precisión cómo #Columbia está amordazando a los estudiantes y profesores que se han opuesto a la masiva matanza de #palestinos en #Gaza por parte de #Israel, al tiempo que los funcionarios universitarios viran más a la derecha bajo la presión de la administración #Trump."

  13. Several years ago, there was a whole public debate in the US about whether or not the universities where Richard Spencer got his BA and MA should revoke those degrees. That discussion particularly focused on the University of Virginia, where he got his BA and where the Unite the Right tiki torch march took place, threatening and intimidating a number of then-current students on campus. This is also the same Richard Spencer who has repeatedly been recorded on video giving Nazi salutes, who was infamously caught on tape using all kinds of racist and antisemitic language while ranting about the failure of Unite the Right, and who told his supporters to “party like it’s 1933” after Trump was elected the first time.

    An array of college administrators across the country shot down the idea citing a “slippery slope”, academic freedom and whatnot.

    Any one of those administrators who now fails to speak out against the revocation of Columbia grads’ diplomas for protesting on campus should lose their jobs and become permanently unemployable. They clearly don’t actually care about antisemitism or academic freedom and they aren’t at all concerned about a slippery slope. They just care about their careers and sucking up to whoever’s got more power than they do.

  14. David Bowie,  Blackstar, 2016 on ISO Records / Columbia

    Wow, what a final album. So much to say about Blackstar, recorded more or less in secret in New York with Tony Visconti and some local jazz musicians, and released two days before his death.

    My copy, like many I’ve seen in the used market, has a tear in the die cut cover which is in the shape of a star, with the b-side label (all black) showing through. The rear jacket tracklist and the […]

  15. 🎶 Guess who’s back, back again 🎶 New #encampment at my alma mater, #ColumbiaUniversity! Took this #photo on campus yesterday

    Last night a bunch of us CC ‘09 alumni ended up at Ten Twenty Bar (which I hadn’t been to in 15 years! somehow it was smaller than I remembered) where we cheered when the #studentencampment was shown on the news (and, hilariously, they blurred the “We’re back, bitches” sign)

  16. #nypd continues to occupy the #columbia neighborhood in #nyc

    Hard to capture the number of #nypd and cop cars of every size on every block from my bike.

    And the #press covering how the protestors prevent folks from getting around … is itself occupying the public #bikenyc #citibike station actually interfering w peoples ability to get around.

    It feels like it’s an occupied zone.

    I am feeling shame and sadness this morning.

    About 1,000 #US students have been arrested in the #ProPalestine protests. #Columbia has started #suspensions.

    This is crazy. Peaceful and legal protests are possible, as #NorthwesternUniversity's example shows.
