Faculty Statement on Imminent Police Action at Columbia University
The American Association of University Professors, Columbia University Chapter
For immediate release: April 30, 2024, 8:00pm

At this hour, the NYPD is massing on barricaded streets outside the gates of Columbia

This is horrifying

'Outside agitators' at Hamilton Hall. 'Soros' and 'global elites' funding encampments. All antisemitic narratives used by the police state, mainstream media & the Right to demonize protesters & justify brutal repression. All in the name of supposedly 'fighting antisemitism'

If you're just waking up in the UK, this is what happened at Columbia last night - vast numbers of police arresting pro-Palestinian students occupying their own campus because they want to stop genocide. Will the headlines still be about antisemitism? Solidarity to Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine

Excellent talks so far from Aaron Winter (@SociologyLancs) and Liz Fekete (@IRR_News) in our #SSAHE webinar about the right to protest, co-chaired by Ann Phoenix (@TCRU_UCL) and Ben Gidley (@SocSciBBK).

This German university reversed its decision to change the status of Palestinian students into “stateless”. Keep on speaking out and pushing back - this is the moment to do so.

Looking forward to introducing and Co-chairing this Social Scientists Against the Hostile Environment webinar later this afternoon:

You know what's hurting comedy, the angry, unfunny anti-woke grift and gigs. Hilarious.

Have you thought of just getting along? Would love to see fewer interventions asking those protesting to be more appealing to the author's political sensibilities and not make demands of those perpetrating violence and their supporters, and g-d forbid upset the status quo ...

Palestinian students at Otto von Guericke University in Magdeburg, Germany received an email from the school that they’ve been recategorized as “stateless” due to governmental “changes in the statistical requirements.”

Germany no longer recognizes Palestinian as a nationality.

The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Prevention supports the students at the Columbia University Solidarity Encampment who have sparked a nationwide revolt against genocide. Leaders in the US (@POTUS Vice President Kamala Harris Nancy Pelosi Speaker Mike Johnson Senate Democrats Senate Republicans Chuck Schumer Leader McConnell @HouseDem) should listen to

As an anti-zionist Jewish academic from Montreal, I want to express my solidarity with McGill protestors. As for the University making Jews feel safe, the antisemitism is inside the house:

It had a ban & wider quota in place from 1920 until the 1960s.

The traditional council of Kahnawake has confirmed that students have the right to be on this land.
