As an institution with a long tradition of excellence in humanistic scholarship and education, Columbia University is uniquely positioned to make a generational case for the enduring value of human thinking and creativity and to extend this work across higher education and beyond at a critical moment. It is therefore with great pleasure that I write to announce the formation of the Faculty Advisory Committee on the Humanities. The committee will explore several foundational questions: • How Columbia can identify new opportunities to advance the humanities across the University • What key themes might articulate a shared vision for the humanities • How the humanities can serve as bridges connecting faculty across disciplines • What role the public humanities might play both on campus and beyond

Los representantes que tenemos ahora no están representando nuestros valores porque la mayoría de Demócratas quieren ver la abolición de ICE. Entonces tenemos que, primero que todo, elegir representantes que compartan nuestros valores. El congresista Espaillat está diciendo “dismantle”. Desmantelar. Pero yo todavía no estoy clara en qué significa eso. Y si nosotros estamos serios cuando decimos que queremos que el Partido Demócrata gane en el 2026, tenemos que hacer que el partido sea un partido en que la gente se vea, o sea, donde la gente vea sus valores y vean que hay gente luchando por ellos. ¿Verdad? Y la otra cosa es que nosotros no necesitamos a ICE. Yo he vivido en un mundo donde no existía ICE, y debemos de regresar a un mundo donde nunca existe ICE otra vez. Porque ICE no existe para la seguridad. Existe para controlar la comunidad inmigrante y aterrorizar nuestras comunidades.

Fred: Maybe you can clarify something for me. Since I've been, you know, waiting for the fleet to show up, I've read a lot, and... Ted: Really? Fred: And one of the things that keeps popping up is this about "subtext." Plays, novels, songs - they all have a "subtext," which I take to mean a hidden message or import of some kind. So subtext we know. But what do you call the message or meaning that's right there on the surface, completely open and obvious? They never talk about that. What do you call what's above the subtext? Ted: The text. Fred: OK, that's right, but they never talk about that.

In the last week, SWC has continued an ongoing pattern of false statements, delivered via emails and social media posts, including personal targeting of specific members of the University’s bargaining team. These behaviors, and the union’s broken agreements during negotiations, have fallen far below the standard we all should expect from members of the Columbia community. The hostile conditions they have created bear no resemblance to the serious, vigorous bargaining process that has led to six successfully concluded agreements between the University and Columbia’s other unions over the last year, and they are incompatible with good-faith bargaining. Given these circumstances, the University has made the decision to file another Unfair Labor Practice charge (ULP) with the National Labor Relations Board. You can read the full charge here. This was not a decision we made lightly or without mixed feelings, given our hopes for productive in-person bargaining.

We are an institution in and of New York. All our students spend a lot of time off campus. Their experiences outside of our gates, particularly if they are confronted with hateful acts of discrimination or harassment, can have deep and lasting effects on their experiences as students. Our Muslim and Arab students are reporting a heightened sense of anti-Arab and anti-Muslim tension, bias, and hate, especially in the buildup to and aftermath of the mayoral election. Many students have told me they have turned inward, fearful of broadly socializing and of being ostracized. They say they have not always felt supported by the administration, and that they are often not comfortable leaning on the larger Columbia community for

From a Columbia mass email: strike action over bargaining. The union's counterproposal rejected mediation efforts and included an extension only until September 30, 2025, with even more significant unbargained-for pay increases, leaving courses vulnerable to a potential strike in the middle of the term. To date, SWC has shown little interest in bargaining over the terms and conditions of employment for the student employees it represents—or in bargaining at all. Taken together, all of these factors lead us to conclude that SWC will not engage with the University to bargain in good faith. As a result, we are now taking the difficult step of filing an Unfair Labor Practice charge with the National Labor Relations Board. You can read the full Unfair Labor Practice Charge. The University's legal claims have several grounds, many of which have been described in prior updates including on July 28, July 2, and June 17, and in updates to faculty on June 2 and April 28. The University did not take this step lightly, and our goal remains to negotiate a fair, competitive, and sustainable agreement

While watching the film, I recalled an uncomfortable meeting l had one evening, in an opulent house in a suburb of Madison a few years before. I was a medical student at the time, and our host, an Indian surgeon, had invited me and a number of my classmates to his house. After we had eaten, Dr. Gupta ushered us into one of his three lavish living rooms, and went round pouring champagne into our glasses. He and his family, he told us, had been expelled from their homes and lands by Idi Amin. I am successful now, he said, America has made a life possible for me and for my wife and chil-dren. My daughter is doing graduate studies in engineering at MIT and our youngest is at Yale. But, if I may speak frankly, I'm still angry. We lost so much, we were robbed at knifepoint, and when I think about Africans- and I know that we are not supposed to say such things in America-when I think about Africans, I want to spit. The bitterness was startling. It was an anger that, I couldn't help feeling, was partly directed at me, the only other African in the

Did any of the people and institutions now howling for Mamdani's disqualification consider taking seriously the calls from disaffected liberals to help lower the cost of living for working families? Did their army of consultants and lobbyists consider building relationships with the firebrands we all knew were destined to seek higher office some day?
