The Trump administration has delivered an extraordinary ultimatum to Columbia University, threatening to permanently end federal funding to the school unless it cedes control of an international studies department and implements sweeping changes to other policies.

The Trump administration brushed aside decades of precedent when it ordered Columbia University to oust the leadership of an academic department, a demand seen as a direct attack on academic freedom and a warning of what’s to come for other colleges facing federal scrutiny.

    most of them gave up thier specific fields to be nothing more than a c-suite, or MBA person would. they probably couldnt hack it in thier field so they end up as a administrator. the PHD is irrelevant if your not actually using it for its intended purposes.
