"... using our platform to say what we're urging you not to say"?? Have you been paying attention for the last 15 months?

Of course, they won't take the vanguard on these issues. But I'm acknowledging that saying that "we will protect you" would be a lie - not only given Columbia's cravenness at the higher ranks, but because *they may not be able to*, even if they were to fight as hard as they could (but won't).

Of course, there *are* ways non-citzen students could publish - anonymously, or on borrowed bylines - and there are ways the University could defend them, especially those with such huge resources as Columbia, but as you say, it's cravenness that's winning out here.
