If there was ever any doubt that President Bollinger continues to seek fealty and submission by the Marching Band, all you need to know is that, as punishment for defying the order to kill Orgo Night, the Columbia administration has cut all $15,000 of university funds from the Marching Band's budget. The Band gets $10,000 directly from the athletic department, and the balance of it's $15,000 annual budget comes from the university, until now. Cutting off funds to the band is the most blatant way for Low Library to exert pressure and try to beat the band into submission.
The Columbia Band Alumni Association will be raising funds to provide to the Marching Band outside the university's process. So, instead of donating money to the University, donate directly to the band alumni association. Make a statement to support free speech.
