“The recent decisions and actions taken by Columbia have been antithetical to the university’s mission, and it is simply not the same institution it was when Mr. Zuckerman made the pledge,” a spokeswoman for the Zuckerman Family Office told the Free Beacon. “We will continue to evaluate the situation in the hope that Columbia will restore its reputation, standing, and mission as a respected educational institution.”
