Columbia’s interim president privately told faculty there was no mask ban in place despite telling the Trump administration the university would enforce one — as some professors dramatically ripped the Ivy League school’s deal with the White House as the “biggest crisis since the founding of the republic. ” Katrina Armstrong, the interim head of the embattled university, downplayed a slew of Trump-ordered policy changes during a tense meeting with faculty over the weekend — soon after Columbia caved and agreed to enforce them on Friday, the Wall Street Journal reported. Despite telling Trump officials that masks would be prohibited during future campus protests, Armstrong told staffers there was no ban in place, according to a transcript of the meeting obtained by the outlet.
