"Trump administration texted college professors' personal phones to ask if they're Jewish." https://theintercept.com/2025/04/23/trump-eeoc-barnard-columbia-texts-jewish/ As all academics know, you can't ask this question in a job interview. https://www.eeoc.gov/pre-employment-inquiries-and-religious-affiliation-or-beliefs But I guess it's OK when it's not a job interview, when it's the govt asking, and the govt includes a high-ranking official who gives #Nazi salutes. This happened at #BarnardCollege. Probably no accident that Barnard is affiliated with #Columbia. Trump officials said they had a right to the personal contact info, and the school handed it over. #Antisemitism #Trump #USPol #USPolitics #WTF @academicchatter@a.gup.pe

Colombia's outgoing president, Gustavo Petro, has accused an Israeli cyber intelligence company of meddling in the country's recent election, in which a far-right, pro-Israel candidate beat his leftwing rival by a margin of less than 1%. The firm, BlackCore, allegedly waged a disinformation campaign against both Petro and his ally Ivan Cepeda, who was running for the presidency against the US and Israel's preferred candidate, Abelardo de la Espriella. "BlackCore, the Israeli company, deployed 500,000 bots - fake profiles to manipulate the Colombian electorate with millions of lies about Ivan and me," Petro wrote on X last week. De la Espriella secured 49.66% of the vote in a run-off election on 21 June, narrowly beating Cepeda's 48.7%. At the time, Petro alleged that foreign actors had accessed the website of Colombia's National Registry and manipulated polling data. "The only entity in the world capable of doing that is the state of Israel," he said. Colombia's attorney general Gregorio Eljach dismissed the allegations and said there was "no evidence of fraud". Swinney is one of the few UK politicians to have described Israel's mass killings in Gaza as a genocide. De la Espriella, who is set to take office on 7 August, is a millionaire and criminal defence lawyer who holds US citizenship and was endorsed by president Donald Trump. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated de la Espriella on his victory last month. "Israel's friends continue to win," he wrote on X. Novara Media was unable to reach BlackCore for comment; the firm deleted its online presence after being contacted by Reuters in June. #IsraelTerroristState #columbia #france #scotland #novaramedia

"several Jewish faculty members filed claims to say they had experienced harassment as Jews on campus – but probably not on grounds Trump’s EEOC intended. ...they argued that the hostility they faced stemmed from their support for Palestinian rights and student protests..." https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/jun/03/columbia-jewish-faculty-protests-settlement-fund #uspol #PolicingTheCampus #GazaProtests #antisemitism #HigherEd #academia #Columbia

Chicago Sun-Times - All | University of Chicago to offer free tuition for students from families making less than $250,000 a year by Mary Norkol AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information. The University of Chicago announced that, beginning in fall 2027, it will waive tuition for undergraduate students whose families earn under $250,000 a year and will also cover housing, meals and other fees for those from families earning under $125,000. The move, described by President Paul Alivisatos as a step to keep “the brightest minds” accessible to middle‑ and upper‑middle‑income families, comes as the school’s total cost of attendance nears $100,000 annually (with tuition alone about $71,000). The university already provides roughly $75,000 in average aid per student and $225 million in aid each year, and the new policy joins similar initiatives at Harvard, Columbia, MIT, Northwestern and other top schools that have begun offering tuition‑free education to families below certain income thresholds.

This is how you know #woke #ideology has gone too far. When believing in original #biology gets you fined for bothering to state your #opinion and or #facts as either or in #British #Columbia #Canada resulting in a #news worthy #human #rights violation. https://www.infowars.com/posts/the-750000-opinion-how-a-canadian-tribunal-silenced-a-school-trustee/

This is quite frankly disgusting #news coming out of #Canada in #Vancouver #British #Columbia effecting 2M people. In this #video First Nations steel #land all over the place through land title evictions and give it to band members only. Being #homeless is NOT a business! This is totally #racial #financial #profiling and I do not support it. Your land #rights matter as does your #property ownership in turn. Right now the #government #censors it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vPqN9Uz8yKE

Live at the Westport Observatory Tonight – 2/17! We’re welcoming Columbia University astrophysicist Yue Yu to the WAS classroom for a deep dive into frontier physics and the big questions still haunting the universe. Dark matter, next-gen experiments, and the kind of science that keeps theorists up at night. 👉 https://was-ct.org/events/yue-yu/ #Astronomy #SpaceScience #WAS #WestportObservatory #WestportAstronomicalSociety #ScienceLecture #DarkMatter #Physics #Columbia #IAXO
