All the ivy’s should expand. Not just Columbia. It’s stupid to stay tiny. Why hoard so many resources for such a small number of students?

It’s ironic you say this, because Columbia now - let alone Columbia with 20% more students - is relatively low on resources. I suppose they will continue to “hoard” the limited resources they do have, rather than bestow them upon their students, lest they disappear completely.

In hindsight, the student protesters were right about calling attention to the crisis given that Israel is now accused of genocide and horrible war crimes.

Anyone familiar with international law knows that the people "accusing Israel of genocide" are mostly left-wing activists leveraging the reputation of their organizations to attack a country they hate because it subverts their third-wordlist and anti-western worldview. None of these people have a single word to say about the 2,000 Druze brutally murdered by the Syrian government and don't care about Sudan.

That’s not true at all. Many internationally recognized genocide experts agree with the claim. Most countries accept it including most of Europe.

Genocide experts are also left-wing activists. Go into their Linkedin and Facebook and you'll see anti-western, anti-American sentiment all throughout. I would recommend listening to war experts. They will give a fairer assessment on whether Israel's actions are reasonable and aren't as likely to be left-wing activists.

100% correct!

Of course, the temptation here is to say that the concept of genocide itself was created by the left wing, but that creates a dilemma for Zionists.

Why would it cause a dilemma for Jews? Jews know what a genocide looks like and Gaza doesn't fit the definition. Notice I said Jews instead of Zionists? Every honest person knows that’s what antisemites call Jews these days.

Dc was considering transferring from NYU to Columbia, maybe he has a btr chance...

Pure coincidence this is right after Trump said he want 600,000 Chinese visa students a year in American colleges…

They should be able to get to classes without daily protesters taking over the campus and possibly having events like their graduation disrupted.

Any other IVY or top 30 school is better than this place.

It's still like that?

No.

I went there last year and the security was tight.

Everybody thinks the administration screwed up the demonstrations. Most of the demonstrators weren't even columbia students and the ones that were columbia students seemed to be majoring in protesting.

Heads should roll and a few professors should have tenure revoked and be forced to earn their tenure again.

I can second that security is tight and it’s back to normal other than the public not being able to access the campus without registering. My DD is an undergrad there and the vibe is back to most kids just kind of obsessed with getting consulting or IB internships or into med school.

The protesters were outsiders and grad students getting useless masters degrees from their school of social work and other similar programs. Columbia has been notorious for more or less ripping average kids off with overpriced masters degrees, enticing them with the Columbia brand. Many of them were the protesters. Columbia paid a hefty price.

Not just Europe. Israeli genocide experts (Omer Bartov, Amos Goldberg, Raz Segal).
