Columbia University Launches New Major in Misrepresentation Studies
Federal agents to receive honorary degrees in 'Awesome Entry Techniques'

"Our innovative Misrepresentation Studies major promises to be a transformative academic experience," noted Dr. Isabelle Wrye.
In an unexpected academic advancement, Columbia University announced today that it will introduce a major in Misrepresentation Studies following a recent incident involving federal agents and student housing. This field of study reportedly aims to prepare students for careers in diplomacy, theater, and interstellar diplomacy, drawing inspiration from recent events.
The decision came after Department of Homeland Security (DHS) agents allegedly made what officials are calling "creative misrepresentations" to gain access to a Columbia residential building. Evidently, these impromptu actors convinced the university gatekeepers that they were conducting an urgent pizza delivery drill. Such ingenuity in improvisation prompted the university's administration to recognize the educational potential hidden within these bold maneuvers.
"Our innovative Misrepresentation Studies major promises to be a transformative academic experience," noted Dr. Isabelle Wrye, Dean of Unorthodox Curriculum. "We believe this curriculum will equip our graduates with the skills necessary to excel in any situation where gaining access is key."
In light of these revelations, Columbia has extended honorary degrees to the agents involved, in a nod to their newfound role as instructors. "We take pride in unconventional educational tactics," added Dr. Wrye, "and if breaking into our own buildings isn't evidence of that, nothing is."
University officials assure that all safety protocols are being reviewed and adjusted to accommodate future thespian incursions.
