If the students at universities aren’t safe from being disappeared, then the administrators that allow those students to be disappeared shouldn’t be safe either ☺️

I’d absolutely never recommend my child go there.

Presidents of universities have the job of pleasing big donors. If some of those are Trump supporters who would be displeased by universities having such principles, then universities will continue to do & say nothing.

It is absolutely sickening to think that the best advice to give to a student (esp non-citizen) who participated in a peaceful protest against genocide is to go into hiding. Because their own school will sic ICE on them… like genuinely wtf is happening.

What an absolute nightmare

And something we will all much sooner than later need to take under advisement.

Columbia is currently gaslighting its students by offering them a fucking list of psychological resources as putative remedy for the fact that they are literally being disappeared.

The Columbia student who was disappeared from campus housing begged the president who issued this statement for help the day before he was taken.

This is what universities do whenever anything happens though, they’ll send you a link to some psychological health thing if the dean has a scary dream.

"If you have nothing to hide, the daily searches of dormitory rooms is not much of an inconvenience and is in line with our longstanding respect for the law. Students who feel the SpeechMonitors in their headboards may have misinterpreted something they have said, should contact their dorms rep."

Have they considered having pizza in the residence halls?

Their B-School probably teaches that ploy

they turned him in...

this is the future they want...

so now one must say, maybe students who believe in the rights of those in america should avoid columbia like the plague.

it's also the past they wanted

the last student expelled from Columbia for protest was in 1936

protesting Columbia's apologia for Hitler

Every student should leave Columbia University tomorrow.

There is no point in obtaining an advanced degree in a Fascist police State.

None

Quit today. Resign tomorrow. Leave Columbia University

Everyone at Columbia should resign immediately.

Everyone
