Columbia could have said “we’ll see you in court,” and maybe, just maybe, that would have slowed this down. Maybe it wouldn’t have, but we have to think of costs beyond dollars.

vfrosty1.bsky.social•2 days ago

Columbia could have gone to court and also dipped into its multibillion endowment to cover the shortfall. Rather, they caved over a phony claim of antisemitism in large part because of well warranted protests about Gaza civilians. More Jewish students than other Ivies and most Ivies have many.

Unfortunately I feel like the Netanyahu government siding with far right movements globally out of self interest and to complete the annexation and ethnic cleansing of Palestine has opened the door for a new kind of fascism that defends itself by insisting all criticism of Israel are antisemitic
