“It’s better than mine,” said Pooh.
“It was meant to be,” said Eeyore. ~A.A.Milne

President Shafik’s choice to call in the NYPD to arrest students is totally outrageous and I say that as a Columbia alum who is now a professor at a university. She’s lost credibility as a leader of the university.

As the UK becomes more divided, England has re-emerged as a potent force in culture & politics. To counter rise of the populist Right, we need more compelling stories of a fairer, greener, more inclusive country. My new book, Another England, is out now bit.ly/3UHQGDR
