CUIMC Stands Up!

As of September 2025, Please check out CU-Stands Up

CUIMC Stands Up is a group of Columbia University Irving Medical Center (CUIMC) affiliates standing up for our students, teaching, research, academic freedom, patients, and life-saving science everywhere.

We are

1) a grassroots coalition of current CUIMC clinical and research faculty, support staff and students without outside influence or funding

2) open to any CUIMC affiliate or ally from across the broader CU community who publicly signs onto our petitions after which will be invited to join group discussions and consensus-driven decisions and

3) taking actions to defend our university in ways that align with our 6 calls to action.

DISCLAIMER: The views expressed on this CUIMC Stands Up website (cuimcstandsup.org) and endorsed by hundreds of Columbia workers (see petitions below) do not reflect any official stance of Columbia University or CUIMC (although we wish they did)
