CUIMC Stands Up
@CUIMCStandsUp
CUIMC affiliates standing up for patients, research, students, academic freedom, & science everywhere. Views ours, not stances of CU admin. Repost ≠ endorsement
We published our 6 Calls to Action for the CU Board of Trustees: columbiaspectator.com/opinion/2025/0… “We are at a crossroads in history where we can either succumb to authoritarianism or stand up against it.”

So far ~250 Columbia affiliates have signed a petition to remove Shoshana Shendelman from CU Board of Trustees + boards @ CUIMC & VP&S: bit.ly/Remove-Trustee After an FDA warning letter ‼️ she allegedly misled investors re: company prospects. Details: theintercept.com/2025/05/27/col…
Still thinking about the official Columbia Medical Center @ColumbiaMed X account posting about the “importance of collaboration” between pharma and Make America Healthy Again as if MAHA is a legit org and not a gov. committee & broader movement both widely considered unscientific
@ColumbiaMed has many obesity medicine docs, dietitians, etc. who study health outcomes re: nutrition. Trustee Shoshana Shendelman isn’t one of them. She’s been sued for fraud (hiding FDA concerns). Faculty have a petition to remove her from CU leadership: bit.ly/Remove-Trustee
