Just a minor correction. Prof. Khalidi didn't "resign" from Columbia. He's already retired, so in a sense he has nothing to resign from (he hasn't, at least to judge by his letter (https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/aug/01/columbia-historian-rashid-khalidi-open-letter), decided to stop calling himself a Columbia emeritus professor or anything like that.). He was due to teach a course at Columbia in the Fall, and now has decided not to do so, as a protest against the restrictions accepted by Columbia in its agreement with the Trump administration.
