You may well have the unusual situation of the Columbia student radio station being eligible for a Pulitzer Prize, administered by Columbia University, for the station’s coverage of how Columbia called the cops on Columbia students. (They’re doing an extraordinary job).

Trying to get any statement/comment from The City University of New York on this and there's radio silence. Why?

Next week, Columbia University, which has banned reporters from its campus, is scheduled to announce this year’s winners of one of the most prestigious prizes in journalism.

Caroline Fohlin, the Emory professor of economics seen on video being thrown to the ground and handcuffed by an Emory police officer for expressing concern at the violent arrest of a protester on campus, was jailed for 11 hours and charged with... Battery Against Police Officer

I appreciate all research and trials, but I resent that these results are being held for publication in what I assume is a prestigious journal. Patients deserve results ASAP, especially since they might inform the NIH’s decision to continue with its RECOVER-VIRAL Paxlovid trial

Good to know why I've [checks notes] not been able to access basic medical care & prayed critical medications from 'Canada' don't have Fentanyl in them--so these folks could pocket the GDP of a small island nation before being investigated. Rooting for the Feds in this match up.
