Columbia University Breached—Was Affirmative Action Exposed?

📝 DESCRIPTION
Columbia University Breached—Was Affirmative Action Exposed?
A massive cyberattack has rocked Columbia University—and the motive wasn’t money, it was truth.

A “hacktivist” broke into Columbia’s admissions systems, extracting data from over 2.5 million applications across decades. Their goal? To investigate whether the university is still quietly applying race-based admissions criteria after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled such practices unconstitutional in 2023.

The hack shut down major university systems for a week, and during the breach, a striking image of Donald Trump’s smiling face reportedly appeared on public monitors across campus. Symbolic? Deliberate? Absolutely. But also a cultural moment—challenging elite institutions on transparency, equality, and trust.

This isn’t just a story about Columbia. It’s a story about every institution that insists it's committed to “equity” while keeping its methods in the shadows. It’s a reminder that truth sometimes needs to be dragged into the light—especially when public trust is at stake.

Do schools owe us honesty about how they select students?

And what happens when the people stop believing the system is fair?
