She said her lecture was going to discuss humanitarian aid in a time of crises as well as the challenges aid workers have faced in Gaza and other war zones.
“[I was told] that discussing the USAID cuts could be perceived as an anti-governmental narrative,” Liu told Global in an interview on Friday. She added that NYU, her alma mater, also said her lecture risked being perceived as antisemitic.

NYU joins the ranks of all those entities demonstrating their collective cowardice…
Obeying in advance. Can’t risk upsetting Mafia Don Mangolini. The bullying of the Mafia Admin wins again.
With such entities as our examples, we are so fucked and democracy in the US is already done.

Journalists called it the Great Grovel. Trump looked sternly at one university and they all collectively went on their knees with "Thy bidding m'lord" on their lips.
As if the media has been any better... Talk about the pot calling the kettle black
