Are NYU and Duke any better? Hasn’t this virus infected all?
I wouldn’t want my kids going there. Walking around with a mask on your mug and a pizza place tablecloth wrapped around your head while playing “Look At Me! I’m A Muzzie Terrorist” makes you look goofier than an idiot wearing a ‘I Go To College” sweatshirt.
This is kinda b-lls—t. Sure, maybe some minor cohort of high-flyer kids who got into Columbia and might otherwise have gone there are now picking Penn or Dartmouth or Brown or West Point or Notre Dame or whatever instead, BUT I’m sure Columbia still has no trouble filling its freshman class with willing and able students.
LOLOL...Columbia has become a fallback school!? Talk about falling from grace! An Ivy League school fell all the way to fallback. They did it to themselves. Let's see them dig themselves out of this hole.
Some top students who got into other Ivy League schools might pass on Columbia. But Columbia will have no trouble filling their seats.
You did it to yourselves.
I remember going to the campus in 1979. The campus was surrounded by an awful area of New York. I would not want to go there or send my kid there.
Who would want to go to skool on Manhatten anyway?
Everything those "protestors" learned was at Columbia. The school administration was proud of what they taught them, right up until the protestors used it on them.
Since the USAID funding has been cut, the taxpayers aren't going to pay for such anti-American attacks - and those parents certainly aren't going to pay for it with their own money.
Who cares what the students think. Are the inmates running the asylum?
BTTT
Columbia can and probably will fill it’s incoming class with mostly foreign Islamist students or their sympathizers.

I simply can’t imagine even wanting to go to an Ivy League school. One sister graduated from Duke in the mid 80s...hell no would I go there. Another sister graduated from Wash U in St. Louis and my niece and nephew went there. My nephew said he had a small cadre of friends and pretty much everybody else was a raving Leftist lunatic. My niece transferred out to UNC after her first year the place was such a nuthouse...and she even leans left.
UF was the only school I even applied to. 35 years later if I had it to do all over again, I’d still pick UF or a good state school like UVA, UNC, Tx, etc etc over a Leftist indoctrination center in a deep blue shithole.
‘brand has been tarnished’
Ya think? 🙄
I have zero desire to visit NYC at all for any reason.
Never made any sense to pay an outrageous sum for 4 years to become dumber with a totally useless degree.
“The leftist commie school isn’t smart enough to figure it out? Devastating news.”
Pull Columbia’s accreditation.
The usual Leftist response to people not doing as told is to FORCE THEM to do as told. For example, particularly in Europe, if they don’t vote as required, the governments there simply ELIMINATE the candidates.
In the case of Columbia, perhaps filing lawsuits against those that don’t attend, due to Columbia having to waste their time reviewing their applications.
“Given the ding to the school’s desirability, Rim predicts it might become easier and easier to get into.”
Maybe easier to get into, but when at least half of the hiring managers in the country automatically BLACK LIST the school, is it really a good idea to go there.
Columbia has been a ruling class terrorist service academy for over a generation. So are the other Ivies. And not just the Ivies.
