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.
