Columbia suspends pro-Palestinian protesters after encampment talks stall
Columbia University on Monday began suspending pro-Palestinian student activists who refused to dismantle a protest camp on the New York City campus after the Ivy League school declared a stalemate in talks seeking to end the polarizing demonstration.
University President Nemat Minouche Shafik said in a statement that days of negotiations between student organizers and academic leaders had failed to persuade demonstrators to remove the dozens of tents set up to express opposition to Israel’s war in Gaza.
The crackdown at Columbia, at the center of Gaza-related protests roiling university campuses across the U.S. in recent weeks, occurred as police at the University of Texas at Austin arrested dozens of students whom they doused with pepper spray at a pro-Palestinian rally.
Columbia sent a letter on Monday morning warning that students who did not vacate the encampment by 2 p.m. ET and sign a form promising to abide by university policies would face suspension and become ineligible to complete the semester in good standing.
Moronic faculty members are trying to protect the protesters.
Unbelievable. Columbia faculty lock arms to prevent police from clearing the encampment. Why do they still have jobs? pic.twitter.com/XrKlNCOx3q

Columbia waited too long
Now faculty are in on it
They’ll never get this toothpaste back in the tube
It was a mistake Columbia will regret to let them get a toe hold in the first place

Plow it under. Columbia is done.
It will be interesting to find out how many of those “students” the faculty were defending are actually Columbia students.
If the faculty are involved in the event and not immediately disciplined by the college, then they are operating as agents of the institution. Some folks are going to have fun suing to empty their endowment fund.
I wonder what those Woke faculty members would want done if some protestors occupied their offices. I very much doubt that they would block policemen from removing protestors from their offices.
