From what I understand the Public safety officers are saying that these four were part of the occupations and were planted inside. That is what the school was told.
My son's SIL is much younger than he is and just got admitted to a Univ. in FL (won't name it here), and she is of Asian descent, and I'm fucking terrified for her. We either stop this now or they win - they make us too afraid to send our kids to Uni, and they close down schools, and that's the end.
And here I was just reading about Columbia’s self-sabotaging collusion with anti-American authoritarians a while back - you’d think such smarty-pants would be learning from their mistakes, not doubling down on them. @columbiauniversity.bsky.social https://bsky.app/profile/newyorker.com/post/3lomq53crgc2l
Stage nationwide walk-outs. When will the American public get louder and out in greater numbers each day, to protest what is so obviously happening in your country? They don’t care about public statements, carefully drafted admonishments, outrage expressed on tv programs.
But is Donnie Two Dolls and his Mafia Regime going to give a flying fuck about national walkouts/strikes? He is already doing more personally to destroy the economy with tariffs than we could ever do collectively!
Looks like you might be having a bit of a constitutional crisis, and that USA should probably break up to accommodate at least 2 significantly different approaches of government.
The University is cooperating with ICE to facilitate the deportation of Alma Mater, sparked by her sit in on the steps of Low Library and her Latin name.
#ColumbiaUniversity has chosen to embrace fascism.
It's time for the enrolled students to think about spending their money for their degrees elsewhere and leave the school to only serve those who are like-*minded*.
They'll lose their status as a premier U, *right*-quick.
Fascists historically target the intelligentsia - scientists, researchers, teachers, writers, doctors - and the universities and organizations where they work.
Seems like a strong case to be made at this point that they are acting on orders from the federal government which makes them plainly in violation of the First Amendment
Really interested to see what their student population looks like in the fall. I gotta imagine a lot of incoming freshman are declining offers and plenty of current students are exploring transfers
I’m going to say this out loud, do not apply to Columbia University. It is a police state and does not even honor the United States Constitution. Study where the Constitution is honored.
They’re trying. A lot of people are not complying. The fact that Ozturk was released today and they are losing most of their court cases is making me hopeful. Our courts are slow AF unfortunately.

I call bullshit.
Not looking good.
Sorry Liberty U.
