The #Trump admin’s move this month to cut off hundreds of millions of dollars in support to #Columbia — which draws roughly a fifth of its operating revenues from Washington — represented a dire #threat to the university. The govt told Columbia it would consider restarting those grants & contracts only if the university agreed to a list of demands.

Last week, it fell to Dr. Armstrong to announce that Columbia had done so.

It's operating in 'Emergency Mode' only & will have to resort to straight time cards to get ppl their base pay on Fri. No explanation or timeline of when it will be back up again. Everyone is wondering what caused it to crash & none of my sources have ever heard of it doing so before."
