Recommendations From Antisemitism Task Force Enrage Columbia University Students
“I f—ing hate this university”
It really seems like Columbia is beyond help at this point.

‘I F—ing Hate This University’: Columbia Student Workers Union Erupts Over Anti-Semitism Task Force’s Recommendation To Hire Middle East Professors Who Don’t Hate Israel
After Columbia University’s anti-Semitism task force recommended hiring Middle East professors who are “not explicitly anti-Zionist”—the task force’s final report noted that there are no such professors who are full-time and on tenure track—an official group chat for the Ivy League school’s student union erupted, screenshots exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon show. Members compared Zionists to racists and fascists. The chair of the union’s board said, “I f—ing hate this university.”
“I think the way they’ve framed it carefully states that the existing faculty are anti and they want ‘not anti,’” wrote Jon Ben-Menachem, a Student Workers of Columbia (SWC) member and doctoral student studying “the politics of American criminalization.”
“Which is still quite zany if you thought [sic] about ‘not anti racist.’”
Hayes Buchanan, an architecture Ph.D. student, said the recommendation amounted to “affirmative action for zionist views,” “trigger warnings for zionists,” and a “giant pot of money to pay zionists with.”
“You’d never know that this started with a genocide of palestinians [sic],” wrote Buchanan, ignoring the Oct. 7 terror attack that prompted Israel’s war on Hamas. It isn’t clear what “giant pot of money” he was referring to.
Other union members were more despondent. “Jesús f—ing cristo,” an SWC member identified as “Lex” wrote. “I’m so over these idiots.” Adithya Gungi, a graduate student studying physics who identifies as they/them and chairs the union’s board of trustees, sarcastically responded to the report’s recommendation, “I enjoy colonizing and genocide.”
“I f—ing hate this university,” added Gungi.

“It really seems like Columbia is beyond help at this point.”
Columbia University never was considered to be anywhere near the top of the Ivy League in the late ’50s early ’60s.
Then again look at what happened to Hahvahd.
“I f—ing hate this university,” added Gungi.”
So leave.
Isfahan Tech has plenty of openings.
(Though many are in the walls and roofs.)
Columbia recommend not pro-genocide professors, noting they have none, and students erupt at the thought of non pro-genocide views being tolerated.
As Adithya Gungi shows, only those who support the genocide and colonisation of Israel are to be tolerated.
Honestly, if Columbia University accidentally burned down with nobody being hurt, I would not feel sad.
