"Columbia University leadership made a series of concessions to the Trump administration on Thursday following an extraordinary letter that listed nine demands it expected the university to make if it did not want its federal funding to be pulled.
On Thursday, the university announced it was expelling, suspending and revoking the degrees of 22 students following last year’s Hamilton Hall protest, fulfilling one of the nine demands issued in a letter from the Trump administration to Columbia."

temporary degree revocations
What in the everliving fuck does this even mean!?
It means that you are temporarily hireable until the degree is reinstated.
I'm assuming you meant unhireable right? Just such a weird ass punishment, like basically an adult timeout?
I have had multiple employers tell me that my degrees make me overqualified, so idk, apparently having a degree hurts as much as it helps these days
That is kind of a hilarious way to look at this, Columbia is actually trying to help these students find jobs!
