But it's hard to reassert leadership after months of appeasement.The protestors have no interest in education or dialogue. They harass, intimidate, spew hate, and then hide like kkk clansmen behind their culturally appropriated kaffias. Quite lacking in self awareness when they chant kkk when the nypd shows up. Their talking points are taken from propoganda materials without fact checking the material, it's source, etc. It's a performative cult. They chant without even inderstanding the words. They are not interested in scholarship and dont belong at a top educational institution. The pandering to the faux protestors gives the school a bad image, and as a Columbia alum, none of my peers are interested in hiring ignorant thugs.
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?
