Funny thing, can't submit this to r/politics, as they seem to have a tightly curated whitelist of allowed domains that must "Be notable, as defined by our domain notability guidelines. Notable domains will consist of news organizations, research organizations, political advocacy groups, governmental agencies / bodies, and political parties."

And apparently columbia.edu does not fulfill those criteria.

Did you try asking the moderators to add it to the whitelist?
In a way. They have a form for suggesting new domains to the whitelist: https://goo.gl/forms/lRQikA1rI0bVbKCl1
Don't bother, /r/politics is one of the most censored places on the internet. It's best avoided. Despite its description don't expect any actual adult discussion of politics there.
