disgrace indeed:

The students said that they received notices informing them that they were under investigation, following complaints that can be submitted anonymously via a form on the OIE website. After a student receives notification they are under investigation for discrimination based on their speech, Columbia requires them to sign a non-disclosure agreement in order to see the unredacted evidence against them—effectively banning them from discussing the accusations against them or the process of the office publicly. Columbia University did not respond to a request for comment.

i always thought that ivy league was ahead; but i guess not.
