Professors condemn Columbia crackdown on pro-Palestine students

[BidenPresident]

The Columbia and Barnard chapters of the American Association of University Professors have issued a joint statement condemning Columbia president Minouche Shafik’s crackdowns on student-led pro-Palestinian protests.

In the statement released on Friday, the chapters said: “We are shocked at her failure to mount any defense of the free inquiry central to the educational mission of a university in a democratic society and at her willingness to appease legislators seeking to interfere in university affairs.”

“President Shafik’s testimony … has profoundly disturbed us. In the face of slanderous assaults on Columbia faculty and students and of gross interference in academic practices by congressional inquisitors, president Shafik not only did not object – she capitulated to their demands.”

“President Shafik, the co-chairs of the board of trustees, and the former dean of the law school allowed this freedom for Columbia faculty to be publicly pressed. They effectively pledged, on the congressional record, to end academic freedom at Columbia,” the statement continued.

More than 100 pro-Palestinian students have camped out in about 30 tents at the center of the University of Michigan's campus in Ann Arbor, and the crowd is steadily growing. A group of about a dozen students holding Israeli flags is standing nearby, and a few police officers are keeping watch but not engaging with the demonstrators.

So, you want Biden to side with Hamas and force Israel to end their current war with Gaza hum? Are you in favor of another Israeli- Gaza war in a few years after Hamas recovers from this one, too?

You don't want him siding with the Israelis. You don't want him siding with the Palestinians apparently either, since they are politically represented by Hamas who started this latest round of war. Who do you want him siding with?

Sure.

 

[BidenPresident]

Amid the tumult, Joe Biden on Sunday criticized elements of the student actions, saying: “Even in recent days, we’ve seen harassment and calls for violence against Jews,” adding: “This blatant antisemitism is reprehensible and dangerous – and it has absolutely no place on college campuses, or anywhere in our country.”

Stop fucking lying, Mr. Biden.

 

[T. A. Gardner]
