“They don’t know how to spell?”: Columbia president is asked about guidebook in which “folks” is spelled “f-o-l-x.”

OK, can you help me understand something else? I didn't go to an Ivy League school, admittedly. Can you explain why the word folks is spelled F-O-L-X throughout this guidebook and in other places at the School of Social Work? What does that mean? Serious question. They don't know how to spell? I mean, I'm not familiar with that spelling. I don't find it a laughing matter. No, I'm not laughing either. I think it's, I really don't. You're denying that this is a official product of the school, but this is handed out to all of you. You are aware that it's handed out to all of your students, and you're not doing anything to stop it. As I said, it's not an official product of the administration. Is this how Columbia University spells the word folks? No. And does Columbia University recognize the word? Because it's not found in the Webster's dictionary or anywhere else, Ashkenormativity. Is that an acceptable term at Columbia University? Congressman, I am with you. I agree with you that I don't find this a meaningful way. This is handed out on your watch. As I said, this is not a product of Columbia University.
