How would Columbia University respond if the students took over campus in support of the KKK and called for the genocide of other ethnic minorities?

Would Columbia University continue to support the demonstrations on the basis of a commitment to free speech or would the University’s code of conduct…

I just send this message to the leadership at Columbia University University.

I am going to be on campus Monday morning and I am requesting police escort.

Police escort for simply going to my own place of work.

Yesterday morning, President Shafik of Columbia University put on a show for the world by calling the New York Portal Depot to disperse an illegal encampment on campus.

This was Columbia last night. They're still there.

Enough is enough.

Fire Shafik and bring in law enforcement.

Please retweet…

Yoseph Haddad (יוסף חדאד - Yoseph Haddad) is an *Arab* Israeli journalist who believes in co-existence.

He just got assaulted outside of Columbia University.

If the New York Portal Depot can't figure this out, it's time to bring in the National Guard

Thank you for an insightful and thought provoking talk! Columbia Business School

I was very disappointed that the Harvard Law Student Government endorsed divesting in Israel. This following on what the Harvard Graduate Student Union did some time ago illustrates that there is a pervasive prejudice problem on the Harvard campus.

Today, the heads of Samidoun – an organization that was banned from Germany for its ties with terrorism – held a recruitment event at Columbia University to get more students to join their calls for violence.

(a long, disturbing, yet important thread)

In sharp contrast to yesterday’s events Columbia University, today SSI at Columbia University & CU/BC Hillel organized a *peaceful* rally condemning antisemitism, calling to #BringThemHome & reminding the campus community of Israel’s right to exist (very depressing that this needs to be done!)

The videos speak for themselves:

Columbia University University is either unwilling or unable to protect its Jewish and Israeli students, faculty, and staff

I personally didn't feel safe going to campus today.

To understand why, see below.

A fantastic conference in a fantastic location! SED Meeting

This Israeli student speaking against hatred at a pro-Hamas event at Columbia University University's school of Social Work (Columbia UniversitySSW) is one of the bravest women I have heard in a while.

Do yourself a favor and listen to her speak.

First, they referred to the Oct 7th terror attack - in which terrorists beheaded babies and violently raped and mutilated women - as a “counteroffensive”. Today, the ColumbiaSocialWork held an event where these terrorists were praised as “creative liberal fighters”. What a disgrace.
