Sounds like a degree from Columbia, something students pay to attain, is not the long-term guarantee it was once thought to be. Sounds like a good reason to transfer out, not apply there, and never plan to attend. If they can just take your degree away after you've already earned it, what good is it?
And to be clear: this isn't a thing. Serial killers don't get their degrees revoked. War criminals don't get their degrees revoked. This is straight up fascist nonsense that makes a degree from this institution categorically a bad investment.
it took years of investigations, inquiries, and debates to revoke the degree of Jan Hendrik Schön, a man who spent years climbing to the top of the scientific community by publishing fraudulent papers in major journals and claiming he had revolutionized the field of organic chemistry/engineering, sending out fraudulent data and lying to fellow scientists and hurting countless people along the way, and the scientific community is still somewhat split on weather or not revoking his degree was an acceptable thing to do, given that there was no evidence of fraud in the work he did for that degree specifically, despite the fraud later in his career. If a university is willing to revoke their students degrees over protests, then that university has made clear their degrees are functionally worthless, and demonstrate no capability other then an ability to appeal to authority.

Kurt Vonnegut wrote: “When I was 15, I spent a month working on an archeological dig. I was talking to one of the archeologists one day during our lunch break and he asked those kinds of “getting to know you” questions you ask young people: Do you play sports? What’s your favorite subject? And I told him, no I don’t play any sports. I do theater, I’m in choir, I play the violin and piano, I used to take art classes.
And he went WOW. That’s amazing! And I said, “Oh no, but I’m not any good at ANY of them.”
And he said something then that I will never forget and which absolutely blew my mind because no one had ever said anything like it to me before: “I don’t think being good at things is the point of doing them. I think you’ve got all these wonderful experiences with different skills, and that all teaches you things and makes you an interesting person, no matter how well you do them.”
And that honestly changed my life. Because I went from a failure, someone who hadn’t been talented enough at anything to excel, to someone who did things because I enjoyed them. I had been raised in such an achievement-oriented environment, so inundated with the myth of Talent, that I thought it was only worth doing things if you could “Win” at them.
