Pomona College President Suspends Anti-Israel Student Protesters and Has Them Arrested
“Any participants in today’s events on the SCC lawn or in Alexander Hall, who turn out to be Pomona students, are subject to immediate suspension”
This is fantastic. The Pomona College president is not playing around.

California college president cracks down on protesting pro-Palestinian students: ‘Immediate suspension’
After a pro-Palestinian protest erupted at a California college on Friday, the president cracked down, saying that the students would be “subject to immediate suspension.”
President Gabrielle Starr of Pomona College in Claremont, California, addressed the campus community after she said a group of protesters refused to identify themselves to Campus Safety and Student Affairs staff and verbally harassed staff, including using an anti-black racial slur when speaking to an administrator.
“Any participants in today’s events on the SCC lawn or in Alexander Hall, who turn out to be Pomona students, are subject to immediate suspension,” Starr wrote in a letter to students on Friday evening.
“Students from the other Claremont Colleges will be banned from Pomona’s campus and subject to discipline on their own campuses. All individual participants not part of The Claremont Colleges community are hereby banned from campus immediately,” Starr said.
Community members who protest on campus in compliance with the institution’s demonstration policy will remain unaffected, the president noted.
A heavy police response arrived at the college on Friday in connection with the protest, according to the Claremont Courier. At least 18 people were reportedly arrested.

When Pomona College students (and possibly others) rushed into an administrative building last night, President Gabi Starr told them they had 10 minutes to leave.
Then she suspended them and had them arrested.

I believe that pomona college pres Gabi Star might identify as light skin black. This could get interesting.
G. Gabrielle Starr
If I had any money, I would be seriously tempted to send it to Pomona. THIS is what they should ALL be doing.
Good for Dr. Starr.
Apparently, she did not receive the memo notifying her that she is An Oppressor.
Would it be a surprise if she is forced to issue a public apology.?
Girl Boss! This how it’s done. I hope other College Presidents are watching and grow the spine she has.
Only difference I would make is to immediately arrest all of them and strip the masks immediately for identification.
Looking at Gabi Starr’s profile, I know I wouldn’t agree with her politically. That being said, she kicks ass and takes names—and then suspends them. Good for Dr. Starr! No shrinking violet is Gabi!!
Her C.V. is rather suspect. A Masters in Women’s Studies is nothing to crow about. No wonder she was able to do it at 15yrs old.
The rest of the college presidents should take note–if she can do it, they can too
