I saw an interview with someone on faculty at Columbia who said administrators first suspended students *so* that they could then arrest them for trespassing. Evil.

Never felt “we keep us safe” as deeply as seeing NYPD itching to do a sweep of the encampment and backing off again and again over 24+ hours because there’s too many Columbia students making a human wall around it and a crowd of protestors in solidarity outside the campus gates

Press release from Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) states 3 students at Barnard were suspended on an interim basis, effective immediately.

“We will not comply until our demands are met or they remove the nonviolent protestors in the encampment by force.”

After yesterday's disturbing House Cmte hearing, *500* Concerned Law Professors sent a letter denouncing Chairwoman Foxx's assault on free speech and academic freedom.

Use of govt power to harass academics must be stoutly resisted.
