Lots of schools have problems like this right now but Columbia is in a class of its own.
The Washington Free Beacon reports:
Columbia Administrators Stand By as Anti-Israel Protesters Overrun Law School and Disrupt ClassesAdministrators at Columbia Law School stood by for hours on Thursday as anti-Israel protesters took over the law school’s lobby, refusing to shut down an unauthorized demonstration that disrupted nearby classes for nearly three hours and violated several school policies. The law school has said nothing about whether the demonstrators will suffer any consequences.The protest, part of which was captured on video, caused such a ruckus that Menachem Weiss, a third-year law student, left class to see what was going on. Standing beneath a banner that read “ceasefire now,” which had been hung from a second-floor balcony, student protesters used a megaphone to broadcast their demands to the university.The students, members of the Columbia Law Coalition for a Free Palestine, called on administrators to announce an economic boycott of the Jewish state and acknowledge that “students of color are endangered by Public Safety and law enforcement.” They also demanded the establishment of a “Center for Palestinian Legal Studies” and a “task-force to protect students from Islamophobia.””It was so loud I couldn’t focus,” Weiss told the Washington Free Beacon. Along with four other students, he tracked down the law school’s associate dean of student services, Yadira Ramos-Herbert, and asked her to restore order.
