COURTHOUSE,
March 26 – As Columbia
University and other face
Federal funding cuts and
requests for information and
more, on March 25 a lawsuit
was filed:
"Plaintiffs American
Association of University
Professors, American
Federation of Teachers (AFT),
and their members can attest
to the pervasive climate of
fear and self-censorship that
has arisen in the wake of the
government’s sweeping funding
cuts and threats to impose
even more. This chilling
effect extends beyond Columbia
to faculty at other
institutions of higher
education—60 of which have
already been identified by the
Trump administration as the
next targets. Self-censorship
is not an unintended
side-effect of canceled
funding; it is by design."
On March
26 it was assigned to U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Mary Kay Vyskocil.
Inner City Press will be
covering the case.
