Columbia University Increasing Security After Anti-Israel Protesters Barged Into Classroom

Columbia University Increasing Security After Anti-Israel Protesters Barged Into Classroom

“No group of students has a right to disrupt another group of students in a Columbia classroom”

We covered this story a few days ago. Columbia University is beyond saving.

CBS News reports:

Columbia University says it is increasing campus security after class on Israel disrupted by protesters

Columbia University says it is boosting security after an incident on campus involving protesters.

Earlier this week, the university said in a statement a class on “The History of Modern Israel” was disrupted Tuesday by a group of students who handed out fliers showing violent imagery.

“We strongly condemn this disruption, as well as the fliers that included violent imagery that is unacceptable on our campus and in our community. No group of students has a right to disrupt another group of students in a Columbia classroom,” the statement read in part.

The school posted an update Wednesday, saying it is modifying security protocols, including patrols from the NYPD and requiring IDs for building access.

School officials say the incident remains under investigation and will include disciplinary action, warning any act of antisemitism or other form of discrimination will not be tolerated.

“Columbia must be a community where we hold people responsible and accountable for their actions. Actions taken to disrupt our classrooms and our academic mission and to intimidate or harass our students are not acceptable and are an affront to every member of our University community,” reads the latest statement on the website.

Increased security? Very nice. How about increased expulsions? And a few arrests & prosecutions.

Why don’t students in a class being invaded and interrupted by Hamasnik harangues stand up and tell the Hamasniks to get out of their class?

Good news.
Columbia Suspends Student Who Disrupted Israeli History Class.

In connection with Tuesday’s disruption of a History of Modern Israel class, Columbia University has identified and suspended a Columbia participant, pending a full investigation and disciplinary process. The investigation of the disruption, including the identification of additional participants, remains active. Disruptions to our classrooms and our academic mission and efforts to intimidate or harass our students are not acceptable, are an affront to every member of our University community, and will not be tolerated
