We saw this clip of Columbia University History Professor Christopher Brown and wanted to share it far and wide. Dr. Brown delivered these remarks on Monday, April 20 at a faculty-led “Rally to Support our Students and Reclaim our University.” He was responding to two events: Columbia President Minouche Shafik's Congressional Testimony on April 17 and the arrest of more than 100 Columbia students the next day. Professor Brown focuses on what is happening at Columbia but his words serve as a powerful rejoinder to any and all:* grandstanding politicians, who have no real understanding or appreciation of the mission of higher education* timid academic leaders, who lack the wherewithal to stand up for faculty and make a case for the transcendent values of academic freedom and open inquiry Here is a transcript of Professor Brown's remarks:Good afternoon. I'm Christopher Brown, professor in the history department. This is the first time I've ever held a microphone at a protest of any kind. I'm not sure whether that's something to take pride in or not but I say it because this is not typical for me.I'm here because I am so concerned about what has happened at this university. With where we are now and with where we are going.Thursday, April 18, 2024 will be remembered as a shameful day in Columbia's history.The President's decision to send riot police to pick up peaceful protesters on our campus was unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive and dangerous. We are fortunate. We don't know how fortunate we are. We are fortunate that no one was hurt.With that kind of show of force. With all those firearms, all it takes is one person to get nervous, a table to fall, a car or truck to backfire out on Amsterdam Avenue. Shots fired. The New York Police Department does not belong on this campus except in moments of extreme emergency.And that show of force was a sign of weakness. In trying to show that they meant business, what they showed was their incompetence.I want to say one other thing. And that's about the congressional testimony on Wednesday. And this is about academic freedom. It's also about Columbia.In three hours of testimony, the president of the university, to my mind, showed no pride in our institution. She said nothing meaningful about the virtues of this institution, of its people, of its faculty, of its staff, of its researchers--their dedication to excellence, their commitment to their students, the quality of the undergraduates and graduate students that we have here, the distinctive record of academic accomplishment and impact, the variety and rigor of the scholarship which is happening here today, the prospects for continued excellence. She didn't say anything about any of those things.She allowed slander of our institution to stand without rebuke. Soviet style education, no response. Intolerant bigots, no response. I know these folks and you know them too. That's not who we are and she should know that.There were members of Congress who wanted to decide who should be disciplined on this institution and how much, what should be taught, how it should be taught, who should teach, what academic department should exist and which should not, who should lose their leadership positions, who should be promoted, who should be fired.Those are academic questions. Those are not congressional questions.What is at stake? What is at stake is not just faculty governance. It's institutional independence. It's the sovereignty of Columbia University and every university like this one.The United States has the greatest colleges and universities in the world and that's why people come from around the world to study here, to research here and to teach here. That's our inheritance. The universities like this one. And we would be fools not to defend it in every corner from those who do not believe in the academic mission and the pursuit of academic excellence.So I have no confidence in her leadership. I'm speaking only for myself. I have no confidence in the president's leadership. With what she has said and with what she has not said; and with what she has done and what she has not done, she has forfeited the privilege to lead this great university. This is a public episode.

If you're listening to this in the fall of 2021, and you're not aware, the JCC's Chief Executive Officer, Rabbi Joy Levitt, is retiring at the end of the year. This podcast is for you. If it's sometime past the fall, maybe the spring of 2022, or the winter of 2026, this podcast is for you, too. There's something about stories, and this particular storyteller, that's crucial to understanding what makes—and made—the country's premier JCC tick. What allowed it to go as fast as it did, to build success upon success upon success. Rabbi Joy Levitt isn't—wasn't—just a boss to some of us. She is, was, a spiritual adviser. A relentless “idea person.” A source of endless motivation. And whether you're listening to this before she leaves, or after, there are lessons you can take from it. You can listen to her voice and know there was a strong hand steering the ship at the JCC. There was joy, in Joy. Welcome to season 5 of 76West, recorded, appropriately, in an office at the corner of West 76th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. In past years you've heard conversations with some of the great thinkers of our time. This season you're going to hear the voice of one: Rabbi Joy Levitt. Sometimes she'll be by herself, sometimes accompanied by the amazing people who helped make the programs she shepherded a reality. That's by design. Joy works—worked— best in collaboration with others, people who pushed her, prodded, who inspired her as much as she inspired them. That's going to be—is—her legacy to the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan: a spirit of positivity, of moving onward and upward. Taking a simple idea, a Jewish Community Center, and elevating it beyond what anyone would use as their definition. In this episode, Rabbi Joy Levitt discusses an eye-opening moment in the JCC's Laurie M. Tisch Gallery, in which an exhibit of the work of photographer Caryl Englander brings about an epiphany for one young family and for Joy.

Nick Rotondo, MTA bus driver turned hero, became a 9/11 first responder when driving the M11 up Amsterdam Avenue around 9 am when a police officer pulled over his bus and commandeered his services. Without hesitation, Nick served New York City at the World Trade Center. Selflessly, he was transporting medical supplies and emergency healthcare workers to and from Ground Zero. Covered in dust and filled with emotion, day after day, despite the eventual physiological and mental toll that it took on him, Nick continued to put others first. Although his life changed on that very day, he is still a positive person whose goal is to share joy for all those who are privy to his balloonatic creations with his own business which is one of his many talents.

On today's show we're talking about when an approval is not really an approval. You think that once you've got your zoning approval, or a development agreement with the city for a particular property, you're good to go. The vast majority of the time, that's the case. But in the rarest of instances, you can experience a reversal of that approval. I'm increasingly of the opinion, that these occurrences are in fact not that rare. Why would I say that? Well, because it has happened to me on one occasion so far in my career and I know of it happening one two other occasions to friends of mine. Then there are the highly publicized cases that make the headline news like the property at 200 Amsterdam Avenue in NYC. That case was a 52 story residential tower in Manhattan. The developer received it's building permit after a lengthy process with the board of standards and appeals. Local residents objected to politicians after the building was already under construction. A court case followed and NY State Supreme Court justice W. Franc Perry ruled that the developer had improperly deceived the zoning department when it applied for the 52 story tower. The court ruled that the building was illegally high and ordered the illegal floors already constructed to be removed. That would mean demolishing about 20 floors of construction. The ruling was appealed and the appeals court countered that the state Supreme Court should have deferred to the BSA's “rational interpretation” of zoning regulations. You're a real estate investor, a developer, or merely a purchaser of a new unit in a project that is to be built. You expect that when the city says yes, they mean yes. In the latest incarnation of a municipal flip-flop, we have a new development subdivision held by one of our team members. There is a signed development agreement. But in the past three months the city has changed their zoning code and eliminated the R4 zoning from their code. The approved site plan would not be approved if we applied today, but the application was started before the change in the zoning. We had been told that the application would be grandfathered. So the application continued and the engineering of the entire plan was completed assuming the building permit would be approved with the final zoning plat approval. The last step in the process to seal the deal is a vote by city council to ratify the signed development agreement. But somewhere along the way, the lawyers for the city reviewed any new development agreement that didn't comply with the new zoning to see if there was a mechanism to terminate the agreement. Indeed the city fully intends to terminate the agreement. This will require a redesign of the subdivision in order to comply with the new zoning density. The approval process is not straightforward. As we reported a few weeks ago, the city of Caldwell in Idaho is implementing a moratorium on new development applications for 120 days. The risks are not only achieving your desired plan, but time. Time delays are routine in the zoning process and as we have seen, even after all the approvals are granted and the project is under construction, it's still possible for obstacles to appear. It is for that reason that in our development applications we aim whenever possible to submit an application that complies fully with the zoning and has zero variances. If we're going to ask for a variance, it's got to be for a really good reason. It won't be to get an extra 5%. It's not worth risking the entire project for such a small gain. If there is a variance to be granted, you have to ask a simple question. What does the community get as a benefit as a result of granting the variance? If the only benefit is that the developer gets to make a bit more money, then that may not be good enough a reason. There has to be a win for the community.

On Saturday April 17th, 2021, 71-year-old Hing Chung, manager of a Dim Sum restaurant at the corner of West 78th Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Manhattan, was tragically killed after getting struck by an E-bike.  Mr. Chung represented the fourth pedestrian killed by E-bikes since 2014 and is part of a troubling trend so far this year.  Between January 1st and April 28th, there were 41 pedestrian deaths in New York City compared to only 26 deaths last year, an increase of almost sixty percent (60%); and significantly higher than the number of deaths reported in 2018 and 2019.In this episode of The Blame Game, we try to answer the question of Who's to Blame? for Mr. Chung's tragic death.   Because if you read the comments that have been posted about this crash online, such as on websites for newspapers that have covered the story, you'll quickly understand that New Yorkers have very strong opinions about bicyclists and especially crashes between bicyclists and pedestrians.
