7 layers of barricades, an emptied and locked down campus, to protect Columbia University *from* its own students and faculty.

A UCLA professor described the attack as ‘pure anarchy in which violent thugs were given free rein, seemingly with the tacit support of law enforcement. It placed scores of anti-war demonstrators in the encampment in direct and serious danger’ forward.com/opinion/608479…

Shafik betrayed the principles of academic freedom and free speech. She should be fired and never allowed back in university administration ever again. Allowing the police to arrest peaceful protestors, faithful students, and distinguished scholars is indefensible.

BREAKING: This brilliant speech yesterday by a Columbia professor on the cowardice of the university administration in calling in police to arrest students will be cited throughout history -– and will inspire generations of students for decades to come.

Columbia still on…

Letter to Columbia President Minouche Shafik from UCLA (& former Columbia U) Professor Robin Kelly

“In forty years, I have never seen such brazen cruelty toward students and faculty.” bostonreview.net/articles/lette…

One WKCR-FM NY student journalist says he hasn’t slept for 40 hours. Earlier, they pondered who would document what happens if not them. The pressure these young journalists are feeling is heartbreaking, and their work is outstanding. Standing with you all from WBEZ Chicago.

'Police being here doesn't mean we lost...it means we won in the most glorious way possible. This university offered us an empty deal. We did not concede. We did not fall for their bribes'

Columbia University encampment protester speaks on NYPD's invasion on students.

Honest question: When National Computing Education Accreditation Council gives a university 'W' category accreditation, does it mean that uni's CS prog is the 'best' in all of Pakistan? Or does it simply mean that this uni (like several others) can remain accredited, without further checks, for the next 4 yrs? 🤔

A message from displacement camps in Rafah to the students of the United States of America, especially Columbia: THANK Y OU!
