Students snub Columbia University… brand in decline?

Columbia University faces new trouble as top admissions consultant says students won’t accept offers — ‘brand has been tarnished’

On Friday, interim university president Katrina Armstrong resigned her post amid allegations that she had told the federal government she would implement a mask ban for campus protests — but privately promised faculty it would not happen.

“There’s so much up-and-down craziness, and Columbia doesn’t seem stable at all,” said Rim, the CEO of Command Education.

Instead, he explained, his clients who were accepted to Columbia during this year’s regular admissions cycle are headed to schools like NYU and Duke.

If Columia had decided to educate rather than indoctrinate, more students who truly want an education are forced to look elsewhere. Columbia brought it on themselves. That made the diploma worthless and graduates less able to be hired by top companies.
