Sounds good to me. No way should students be able to take over buildings, keep threatening Jewish students on a campus in NYC????? And these students who take over the building and block access get no punishment from the University….

Isn't this considered Wokeism and cancel culture? Or is that only when they can use it against Dems?

Conversely, have to wonder if the left would be screaming if the Fed gov't withheld funding from colleges that allowed blatant racism on campus?

My guess is no. Plenty of hypocrisy to go around here.

Why are we giving private universities with huge endowments any money at all? Columbia’s endowment it 14.8 BILLION. 400 million is a drop in the bucket for them.

As someone who married into the tribe, I can honestly say I don’t not care one bit if Israel seeks to exist tomorrow because I’m sick of them meddling in my country. And they only have themselves to blame.

Assume that this marriage is past tense.

Everything Trump does is out of spite and/or grievance. He has no core beliefs and no moral compass.

This is not a reason to pull funding from a University.

Starting with one Chinese student headed back to China. I wonder how China will treat her.

Also, Rubio is deporting the protesters.

He also bears an incredible grudge against NYC elites. Expect the federal attack on NYC institutions to continue apace as trump attempts to vent his spleen.

Doesn’t seem very peaceful when you need riot police to clear out the protesters. Blocking access to building, people from class.

That’s not peaceful, that’s obstruction.

Exactly! Especially in a library.

And what does that have to do with finding the school?

This is an attack on higher ed, OP. He's just masking the truth of what he is doing and seeing what he can get away with...

Step six of the Butterfly Revolution is to attack higher education. This is part of their written plan.

Antisemitic man cuts $400M in grants due to antisemitism.

Right. I'm sure antisemitism is the reason.
