Columbia University Interim President Who Resigned After Failing to Comply with Trump’s Executive Order Is Replaced With CNN Lackey Who is Even WORSE

We are now on the third Columbia president and this latest one, Claire Shipman, who has criticized and mocked the House investigation on campus antisemitism, calling the hearings ‘capital hill nonsense.”

Claire Shipman, a former CNN White House correspondent whose ex-husband is former Obama Administration press secretary Jay Carney, served as co-chair of the University’s board of trustees before she was appointed Friday night to replace interim school president Katrina Armstrong.

In a Dec. 28, 2023, text message, Shipman wrote to then university president Minouche Shafik she thought Columbia would be spared from the “capital hill nonsense,” referring to December 2023 Congressional hearings that saw the presidents of Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania and MIT testify about campus protests against the war in Gaza. And that was right after October 7th. If not then, when?

Federal funding must end.

Columbia University has historically received substantial federal support. The Trump admin cancelled $400 million in fedeeral funding but that was merely a drop in the bucket and hardly an impetus for real change. Columbia reportedly receives around $1.6 billion in federal funding, according to analyses of the university’s financial structure, roughly 28% of its $6.2 billion annual budget.

This must end. We are funding the destruction of the American mind and of Americanism itself.Columbia University President Katrina Armstrong Lied To Trump Admin, Told Faculty Members No Mask ban and No Changes to Anti-Israel ME Department

New York Post: Columbia University’s interim president resigned from her position at the embattled Ivy League Friday night, just days after she told the Trump administration she would implement a mask ban — while privately promising faculty she would not. Katrina Armstrong was booted from her position after the prestige school’s board of trustees doubted her ability to lead negotiations with the Trump administration over the university’s $400 million in federal funding… Board of trustees co-chair Claire Shipman has been named acting president, effective immediately, Columbia said in a statement, adding that she will serve until the board “completes its presidential search” (New York Post).

Daily Wire: Claire Shipman, a former CNN correspondent, co-chaired Columbia’s board of trustees before she stepped into the role of interim president on Friday. On December 28, 2023, Shipman sent a message to then-university president Minouche Shafik calling the congressional hearings “Capitol Hill nonsense,” according to The New York Post. The hearings focused on pro-Palestinian and pro-Hamas protests and antisemitism that had broken out on college campuses after the October 7 terror attack on Israel. The presidents of Harvard University, the University of Pennsylvania, and MIT testified. Shipman told Shafik that she believed Columbia would be spared from the scandal that erupted over the hearings and preceded the exit of both Harvard’s and Penn’s presidents. Shipman also encouraged Shafik to show leniency to student groups banned during the raucous protests, which included illegal actions such as vandalism and taking over campus buildings (Daily Wire).
