Dozens protest NYU Langone's removal of gender-affirming care and nurse's firing, citing equity and patient rights concerns.

Dozens protested outside NYU Langone demanding the reinstatement of gender-affirming care, amid growing scrutiny over the hospital’s firing of a nurse with cancer, rescission of program acceptances after a lost federal grant, and ties to groups opposing transgender rights. The rally highlighted concerns over institutional policies affecting patient care, academic freedom, and LGBTQ+ equity, as student and faculty-led actions spread across NYU campuses. Meanwhile, NYU Abu Dhabi students sought shelter during Iranian strikes, underscoring global security risks to international campuses.
