So to get a different look at the unease at colleges and universities right now, both from the threats to federal funding, as well as the arrests of international students, we spoke to a trio of editors at student newspapers about what they're seeing and how campus communities are reacting.

I just feel like it's instance after instance that national news outlets are paying attention to things going on on college campuses.

It is an incredibly unique time to be a member of the Columbia community.

When DEI was cut, I think then it really kind of hit home for a lot of people and it felt like, you know, okay, this thing is real, this thing is here, and this thing is affecting us.
