Columbia University just made it official; they are going to online “learning” for the rest of the semester. They are giving up the use of expensively built facilities in surrender to the forces of anarchy and chaos.

Rich alumni calling the shots could be a slippery slope.....
I disagree. Donors are under no compulsion to donate. Donors are donating in part to gain leverage over how their money is used. Since his owners do not have enough resources to set up their own universities, they donate the existing universities and expect to have something to say about how their money is used. If you have children come do you give allowance without conditions? I don't think so.

Hamas did not succeed in eliminating Israel by the October 7th massacre. Israel has not lost the war. Why should a victor surrender? Only in the halls of academia with this be seriously suggested.

Many people can quite clearly see exactly what's going on.

Sort of like how ANTIFA claims to be anti-fascist while acting just like fascist

Class Action Lawsuit for the real students. They should get back their money.

While not a class action, the lawsuits are beginning to fly. See StandWithUs Center for Legal Justice, Katerina Boukin, and Marilyn Meyers, Plaintiffs v. Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Defendant, U.S. District Court, District of Massachusetts, Case No. 24-CV-10577-RGS. The lawsuit was filed on March 7, 2024. MIT has moved to dismiss on April 18, 2024. This will possibly result in the amendment, not the dismissal of the lawsuit. The organizational plaintiff may have some problems with standing. I would not be surprised to see additional plaintiffs added or the case converted to a class action.

Wonder if these students will get some type of refund for their tuition since they have to go back to an online format?

I don't know, I might be spitting hair here, but it seems that these particular types tried to use manipulation to get certain groups to attack Christians, which overwhelmingly vote Republican, and this tactic has caused those same groups to now attack Jews.
What these leftists like Gates and Zuck fail to grasp, is the pro-Hamas protesters in these colleges are targeting, are Jews. They are not simply protesting Israel, they hate JEWS, and are targeting any Jew they see. If they were simply protesting the politics of Israel, then no Americans would ever be in their sights. But this protest is about the extermination of Jews, regardless of which nation they live in.

It's much more than the presidents, it's the professors, most of whom tenured.

Exactly!

The dems behave like fascists, and they turn around and call everyone else a fascist. The dems act like racists, and have the gall to call everyone else a racist.

Sheetz convenience store chain has been hit with a lawsuit by the Biden admin over claims they are racist, because the company the chain uses criminal background checks to screen job applicants.

The dems are the racists, because they see black and brown people as criminals. So if an employer does not want to hire criminals, than that is racist. It's so obvious that the dems SEE race in everything.
