If the building is owned by Columbia University what does the government have to do with commanding that it be cleared it out? Why is that not up to the university to decide? De-funding the institute is one thing, but getting thrown out of the building by a deadline is another. What does the university have to say about it? Do they kowtow to Trump whims? Is there another renter interested in leasing that property? I think there's a red arrow pointing at the university here.
