What does this mean for their MSTP and research programs in general?....

It sucks.... This is bullying by the current administration. A lawsuit is likely.

This is a blatent warning to all higher education: resistance is futile. Hope you all showed up at the March for Science marches.

Yes, confirmed across social media platforms today that all T32s, including the MSTP, have been terminated at Columbia. Complete disaster. I strongly suspect that internal funding will be able to keep the MSTP afloat, but this is literally every T32 as well as a ton of center grants.

The loss of P grants in particular will have a huge impact on many labs' ability to take students.

On the bright side, no need to worry about applying for an F30 if you're a current MSTP student at Columbia... /s

It's just hostage taking and extortion. Get the lawyers; this is ultimately an infringement on First Amendment. (Imagine this happening to a religious-based university.)
