Students and alumni at elite universities staged a high‑profile, cross‑school show of unity against what they described as federal attacks on higher education at the Harvard‑Yale game, signaling intensified campus resistance. Organizers and participants told reporters the event aimed to coalesce alumni and student opposition to policy moves perceived as hostile to academic freedom. Separately, a Columbia graduate detained by ICE sued for records on the government's use of doxing databases such as Canary Mission, alleging coordination between federal officials and private blacklists in targeting pro‑Palestinian protesters. The lawsuit could reveal new layers of federal surveillance and information sharing that colleges will have to respond to in campus safety and rights policies.
