NP. I’m 100% for this, yes. These “students” do not have a right to defile public spaces at the schools that are supposed to be there for everyone’s use and enjoyment |
Very interested to see how many high school seniors (who had previously accepted admission offers) are now reconsidering and withdrawing acceptances. |
They will continue to draw the students who are attracted to what they are putting out. There is clearly a market for it. Students who aren’t looking to cosplay revolutionary in support of Islamic terror groups will go to places like Ole Miss and U of Miami where they can focus on partying, studying, networking, and socializing. |
I agree with you. There is definitely a market for what Columbia is offering. However, I just spent a fair amount of time reading the Columbia Reddit forum. I feel sorry for the students just trying to finish this term, graduate, get a job. It seems that many employment offers have been rescinded. |
Oh please. Those students are still going to those schools. This will have no impact on acceptances. |
I doubt this is true. No one is going to blanket say they aren’t hiring Columbia students. I don’t think people will back out either. But it might influence next years applications. Although that’s a way off as well. People have short memories in this country when it mixes with prestige. |
“A prestigious Big Apple law firm has revoked job offers to three students at Harvard and Columbia universities after the Ivy League students signed controversial letters supporting the Palestinians in the wake of Hamas’ deadly slaughter in Israel.
Davis Polk & Wardwell alerted staffers on Tuesday that it had rescinded the offers because the prospective employees held leadership positions within the student organizations that issued last week’s statements blaming Israel for the attacks.“ |
Yes. That is not a blanket “we’re not going to hire Columbia students.” |
“ The war of words over the ongoing Israel-Hamas violence in the Middle East has stretched to most corners of the internet, as well as New York, where a law student has reportedly lost a job over "inflammatory" comments.
Ryna Workman, student president of the NYU Law School Bar Association, published a statement in a school newsletter that was widely circulated on social media Tuesday, stating "unwavering and absolute solidarity with Palestinians in their resistance against oppression toward liberation and self-determination." “Israel bears full responsibility for this tremendous loss of life. This regime of state-sanctioned violence created the conditions that made resistance necessary. I will not condemn Palestinian resistance," the message continued. The bar association president went on to condemn apartheid, settler colonialism and "the violence of trapping thousands in an open-air prison." Winston & Strawn, a law firm that apparently employed Workman as a summer associate, announced that the law student's employment offer had been rescinded because of their comments.” |
No one said that. The PP said that some offers had been rescinded, which is absolutely true. |
You want to execute students on Anerican college campuses for assembling to express opposition to Israel’s actions in Gaza? Is that right? |
Eventually these protestors will get bored and give up. |
Or their campsite will become so unsanitary they will leave….. |
GOOD. This is exactly what should be happening. And employers have every right to do so. |
