‘Irrevocably Shaken’: Editors of Columbia Law Review Demand Cancellation of Exams, Citing Trauma Caused by Police Presence on CampusThe student editors of the Columbia Law Review issued a statement on Wednesday urging Columbia Law School to cancel exams in the wake of the police operation that cleared the university’s unauthorized encampment, saying the “violence” had left them “irrevocably shaken” and “unable to focus.”The statement, which represents the majority opinion of the editorial board and was endorsed by five other law journals, including the Columbia Human Rights Law Review & A Jailhouse Lawyer’s Manual, accused the police of “brutalizing” students—though no major injuries have been reported—and claimed that canceling exams was a “proportionate response” to the “distress our peers have been feeling.””The current exam policy raises concerns around equity and academic integrity,” the statement said. “Many are unwell at this time and cannot study or concentrate while their peers are being hauled to jail.”The statement also accuses members of a “white supremacist, neo-fascist hate group” of “storming” campus—an apparent reference to a pro-Israel rally organized by Christian Zionists, including the evangelical musician Sean Feucht, who gathered outside of Columbia’s gates on April 25 for hymns and prayer.”We do not think it is inconsistent with being a leading voice in legal academia and legal scholarship to prioritize students’ health and safety,” the statement said.
