Columbia University Closes Chinese Student Organization

One of the largest Chinese student organizations in the United States has been shut down due to violations of financial and organizational policies.

A short statement on the official website of Columbia University Chinese Students and Scholars Association, CUCSSA, said the student organization had been “de-recognized” and that the organization no longer is engaging in any activities.

A spokeswoman at the university in New York said in an e-mail that the disciplinary action became unavoidable after several warnings.

“The number of students from China enrolled at Columbia exceeds any other group of international students by a substantial margin, a fact we celebrate and take pride in. In this matter, the Columbia University Chinese Students and Scholars Association (CUCSSA) has been treated in the same manner as other student groups.”

“Unfortunately, the ongoing violations of multiple financial and student organizational policies by CUCSSA persisted after the organization had been placed on probation, making the recent disciplinary action unavoidable.”
