Current Columbia parent here. I agree in all fronts…….except, the protestors are an extremely small part of the Columbia student body. Students who are not participating are not going to be affected in hiring decisions. It would take more than this for Columbia to no longer be Columbia. A lot more.

That said…they do need to get it under control. It’s getting really annoying. My DC is not scared or threatened, just annoyed at this point. But I’d hate to be one of those administrators. It is a free country, no? From what I understand the protests this week a very calm. So what can the school do about it really?

Well said. These thugs had their moment last year, but I think (hope) that schools are finally wising up. They do NOT have the right to disrupt campus life, period. If the police have to arrest them, so be it. I hope the arrests stay on their records.

I'm as sick of misinformation like this ^^ as I am of idiot protesters who feel entitled to take over campus buildings and prevent other students from accessing them. The police did not beat up anyone - but they did arrest those who refused to leave. Good for them. They need to arrest them every.single.time they disturb campus life. Go protest out on the street, morons.

While I agree with you, I want it to stop. HOW can it be regulated? I’m so frustrated with all of this. The protestors have no idea what they’re asking for at this point……it’s become performative. But, they’re allowed to protest, no? Hi eat question. What can the school do to thin the law?

Blocking Jewish students from attending class and entering buildings is okay as long as it’s done “calmly”?

They can tell the protesters to go protest in a public place, like a park or street. The school is private property. They are disrupting the campus, which is full of paying students who are trying to get an education.

Exactly. Nope - other students have every right to access all spaces on campus without being blocked, harassed, or intimidated.

I haven’t heard of this happening. Of course that’s intolerable. How would protestors know which students are Jewish? My DC’s roommate is Jewish and I haven’t heard any mention of this from them.

I want an end to this. How does the school stop students from entering buildings? I mean I’m really asking - not provoking. I want it to end. But I just don’t see what more the school can do than what they’re doing (I.e. the arrests made yesterday).

A few thousand dead terrorists isn’t a genocide, it’s a great start.

You sound like a conspiracy theory prone individual

The fake genocide conspiracy?

The full list of humanitarian organizations and individual scholars to have accused Israel of genocide or genocidal acts is too long to post here, but includes Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and Doctors Without Borders. In consideration of this darkest of shadows, while some Barnard protesters have transgressed reasonable ethical boundaries, I just can't put my heart into criticizing them.

Why Barnard? They should be protesting outside the office of the Palestinians who support Hamas which is committing genocide against its own citizens by hiding among civilians. That is where these blockheads should protest.

Well-described, that is exactly what it is. A performative cult. The annoying thing is that it is damaging Columbia and Barnard’s reputations and ruining it for normal students.

So Barnard students are not Columbia students?

Barnard is, in fact, another institution.

They aren’t “pro Hamas”.

If you can’t make a point without LYING then STFU.
