Yeah, going forward “graduated from Colombia” will carry with it an implication entirely beyond its previous academic reputation. The university is very publicly broadcasting that their focus is not on academics or student growth, but on pleasing external entities. Current students probably didn’t know and it might not have previously mattered much, but anyone enrolling from now on does and doesn’t need to be given the benefit of the doubt.
Their student paper is currently producing stars though.
Generally speaking once you are past the second year of undergrad you have no choice but to finish out without taking a loss. Virtually all US colleges and universities require you to spend two years with them in order to graduate there, so they will only grant you transfer credits for the first two years worth of coursework (even if you are one class away from graduating at your current school). Plus, higher level courses are less likely to have exact course matches than intro courses across the board, although that is more of an issue in the humanities than in the sciences
Universities outing themselves as fascist puppets, destroying their own credibility
