Columbia pulls promotion for DHS career expo after faculty claims university is aiding 'authoritarianism'

Columbia University pulled promotion for a Department of Homeland Security–affiliated virtual career expo after faculty members objected that advertising the event amounted to endorsing "authoritarianism."

The event, a U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Virtual Career Expo scheduled for Feb. 18, invites prospective applicants to chat online with recruiters about careers in federal law enforcement. According to the New York Post, the event advertised that multiple Department of Homeland Security agencies would be present.
