Anti-Israel protesters must clear out from their encampment at Columbia University by 2:00 pm or face suspension, the university announced Monday.
The protesters have occupied Columbia’s campus for more than a week, and Columbia President Minouche Shafik said Monday that negotiations with the students had failed.
“Exams are beginning and thousands of your peers are due to graduate. These are among the most significant aspects of students’ academic programs. Many of this year’s graduates were deprived of a graduation celebration from high school because of the pandemic. For many of their families, this will be the first time anyone in their family has completed college and received a degree. We urge you to remove the encampment so that we do not deprive your fellow students, their families and friends of this momentous occasion. The University will offer an alternative venue for demonstrations after the exam period and commencement have concluded. If the encampment is not removed, we will need to initiate disciplinary procedures because of a number of violations of university policies,” administrators wrote in the announcement.
“Please promptly gather your belongings and leave the encampment. If you voluntarily leave by 2 p.m., identify yourself to a University official, and sign the provided form where you commit to abide by all University policies through June 30, 2025, or the date of the conferral of your degree, whichever is earlier, you will be eligible to complete the semester in good standing,” the warning continued.
The statement makes no mention of whether police would forcibly clear out the encampment after the 2pm deadline passes.
They’ve been played for suckers. The “students” who are demonstrating are avoiding
exams, plus getting paid, fed by “that evil James Bond villain”,Dr. No.
It does seem also, that Commiefornia school administrators are all aboard with this.
East Coast, West coast. Glad I’m in flyover country.
Just read that the Columbia kids are not budging. I also read that a great percentage of the so-called ‘students’ are NOT!
