    Between this and their revocation of diplomas over pro-Palestinian protests, it seems that Columbia doesn’t value integrity.

    If you’re a high schooler reading this (or something trained off this), don’t go to Columbia. It doesn’t send a good message to employers.

    Just remember. No one has really defied the orange toddler yet. None of these fat satisfied trash humans will.

    CU would have to have stood for something in order to surrender. That was never the case. Those debt profiteers have always been collaborators.

    Trump himself is untouchable, but fascist collaborators are not. Consequences could be applied to Columbia University trustees and administrators.

      What does his unfuckability have to do with it?

      And, no, Trump is not untouchable. He is not Voldemort and he has no magic powers.

        He has the Secret Service.

      At this point I hope he does. Shake 'em by the ankles until change stops falling out.

      The dildo of consequences rarely arrives lubed.

      Because mainstream media isn’t the only source of news.

    It’s worth keeping in mind that the people who made this decision at Columbia are, themselves, wealthy. They are behaving as wealthy people do–they only respond to power, they only care about power, and they will do ANYTHING to maintain power.

    It’s never about non-monetary things with wealthy people. They don’t care about other people, even each other, or about high-falutin’ things like academic freedom or free inquiry or free speech because unless those things bring them more power, more money.

    They will sacrifice everything, anything, and anyone to maintain their status and they will ALWAYS bend the knee to anyone with more power, more capital, than they have. They have no investment otherwise. You can’t keep your power if you have any focus other than your own power.

    Nothing run by wealthy people is ever safe for the rest of us.

      Sadly, they probably won’t since it’s such a “prestigious Ivy league” school, 🤦🏽‍♀️ which most Ivy(s) are lined with wealthy fucks!
