There is more to say, but for now let me tell you how proud I am of our Columbia Journalism students, whom I've watched report non-stop for days, sleep on floors, support one another & give their all to bearing witness under dire conditions: pulitzer.org/news/statement… The Pulitzer Prizes
A wonderful thread. #ColumbiaUniversity . Anyone who teaches at a college or university and listened last night to WKCR 89.9 FM NY (until it went blank) will know exactly what she means.
With great sadness for the passing of one of the great scholars of German and European literature: a sharp, ironic, critical, and compassionate mind who lived in truth, to borrow V. Havel's words. #PeterDemetz

This senior faculty member at Columbia University learned about NYPD entering campus from *student-run radio.* I still haven't been officially informed. Unless you count the text alert telling me to 'shelter in place' and threatening 'disciplinary action' for 'non-compliance.'
Somehow trying to prepare for final lecture of term whilst digesting fact that Columbia University President deliberately misled Faculty over their clear intention to escalate anti-camp measures, deadline 2 pm today.
