Columbia University
BLUE BLOC
Columbia University is the Blue Bloc’s principal training ground for its elites. Its relationship with LUME has made it a key institution for gaining access to the FNC’s political, corporate, and intellectual networks.
Origins of its influence
The university hosted the meeting of wealthy families, investors, and tycoons that gave rise to LUME. This milieu formulated the project of a minimal state and liberalism that contributed to the fall of the former United States government and the creation of the Free Fatherlands of Nova Columbia.
LUME’s growing power consolidated Columbia’s position as the leading educational institution. Membership in its community is closely associated with access to circles influencing Blue Bloc policy and economics.
Education and access
Its economics, history, politics, and philosophy programs adopt a radically neoliberal approach. University education reproduces the principles of the minimal state, entrepreneurship, and corporate influence characteristic of the FNC.
Admission combines academic demands with extraordinarily high fees. The institution brings together students of exceptional ability and those with the resources needed to enter this world.
