"Columbia student #MahmoudKhalil remains in the hellhole of a notoriously brutal private prison in #Louisiana for daring to speak out against the #Israeli slaughter of Gazans.

And #Columbia student #YunseoChung, who’s been a legal permanent resident of the #US since she was 7 years old, is in hiding while her lawyers sue to prevent her arrest for also speaking up about the violence #Netanyahu is inflicting on people in #Gaza."

"#PeterBeinart and #Columbia professor #NadiaAbuElHaj, who also serves as the co-director of the Center for Palestine Studies, spoke just hours before this shocking development, but their conversation probes what’s been happening at Columbia and #Barnard, and what’s at stake—both for the study of #Israel / #Palestine and for the future of #higherEd."

I've only watched a short clip of this interview with Columbia professor David Robbins but I'd say it's essential viewing. There aren't too many dots to join in order to figure out which students reported him, although he takes great pains to keep them anonymous.

"A Statement by Members of the Teachers College, #Columbia #University Faculty

The Attack on American #Education, ..

The intention of the Trump administration is clear. By gutting important systems of education, they can shape our thoughts and words, creating a new generation without the skills required to actively participate in our #democracy ...

We call on university leaders, on our #campus and beyond, to use all of the tools at their disposal, including collective efforts across the sector and litigation, to stand for academic #freedom, and for First Amendment rights of #freespeech, inquiry, and debate, and thus to stand for our democracy."

I wonder when #Columbia will destroy all reference to Edward Said, burn his books, declare his classes as having never existed, recall all graduates to come back to school and take a different class to get the necessary credits and graduate again.

#Columbia University agrees to some #Trump demands in attempt to restore funding

https://www.reuters.com/world/us/columbia-research-takes-immediate-hit-trump-funding-cuts-2025-03-21/
Among the most contentious of the nine demands, Columbia agreed to place its Middle Eastern, South Asian, and African Studies department under a new official, the memo said, taking control away from its faculty.


Columbia University bends a knee and capitulates to the Trump regime. They’ve agreed to ban masks and empower police to arrest students.

This is the epitome of fascism. Please look back at what the Nazis did to education.

They wanted people uninformed and/or indoctrinated. The Hitler Youth Program effectively brainwashed children to become full on Nazis.

Schools should be a safe place for kids to express differing opinions, learn about other people and cultures and become tolerant, compassionate citizens of the world

They should be able to do that while protecting their health and the health of their community

This is a devastating blow to public health, democracy and freedom:

Trump administration issues nine demands to Columbia University to restore federal funding

The #WhiteHouse has demanded #Columbia reform its world-renowned Middle Eastern studies department and adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism

from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
By Areeb Ullah
Published date: 14 March 2025 13:31 GMT

"The university was also told to begin the process of placing Columbia's world-renowned Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under academic receivership. This process requires an outside chair, who could be appointed by the government, to run the department for five years. "

"Other demands listed by the White House include a mask ban on campus, giving "full law enforcement authority" to campus security by allowing them to "arrest and remove agitators", and reforming the admissions process for its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. "

Misinfo here.
Corrected 👉 '400 mil of gov funding taking from #columbia IF 22 students AREN'T expelled or have their diplomas revoked👈, which Columbia DID, so NO funding cut. There may be more expulsions dunno, but I DO know the school was accused of actually hiding 'illegal alien' students... which is laughable.

Ps. Wonder how much of the 400mil cut would have affected state dept spook and CIA programs🤣. UC is littered with them. A geography prof here was outed a few yrs ago.


This is such a privileged thing to say but the recent attacks on #academia is finally really striking home. #yale prof suspended for ai new’s false claim, #palestinian protestor student from #colombia stolen from his pregnant wife, 400 mil of gov funding taking from #columbia, #22students expelled or have their diplomas revoked from #columbia.

It feels it’s illegal to have an opinion in academia, the ultimate place to form new ideas and opinions.


#MahmoudKhalil, recent graduate of the university’s School of International and Public Affairs, was abducted by #ICE Saturday for his role in organizing protests lagainst #Israel’s attack on #Gaza. Khalil’s dean, Dr. Keren Yarhi-Milo, of the School of International and Public Affairs, is a former Israeli military intel officer and official at Israel’s Mission to the United Nations.

This piece quotes offensive statements made by other Gaza protestors but not a single word uttered by Khalil. And certainly no deeds.

A curious omission given her thesis that while his views are odious they’re nonetheless protected by the first amendment.

Columbia University, the epicenter of a number of issues, has conferenced their journalism students to tell them that if they are not US citizens, they should not publish anything likely to anger Trump, Russia, Israel, or the techbros, saying “Nobody can protect you.” They’ve been told to blank their social media of anything that might offend.

And yes, outrage is warranted, but Columbia has in its toolbox some of the brightest legal graduates and professors. If they don’t think they can lawyer up enough to stop this illegal curtailing of speech, the problem is a lot bigger than many people realize. Not the least of which is that other countries are dictating what people can say on American soil.

On one hand, the dean is trying to protect his students, on the other hand, never obey in advance.

Students who were not U.S. citizens should avoid publishing work on Gaza, Ukraine and protests related to their former classmate’s arrest, urged Stuart Karle, a First Amendment lawyer and adjunct professor. With about two months to go before graduation, their academic accomplishments — or even their freedom — could be at risk if they attracted the ire of the Trump administration.

“If you have a social media page, make sure it is not filled with commentary on the Middle East,” he told the gathering in Pulitzer Hall. When a Palestinian student objected, the journalism school’s dean, Jelani Cobb, was more direct about the school’s inability to defend international students from federal prosecution.

“Nobody can protect you,” Mr. Cobb said. “These are dangerous times.”


Interview: "Judge Blocks Mahmoud Khalil’s Deportation as Trump Vows More Arrests"

Khalil’s unprecedented arrest is to punish antiwar student activists & is part of Trump’s racist & fascist agenda.

~Murad Awawdeh

If the intent was to silence free speech, it's not working.

And, as the US anti-genocide movement is mostly made up of Americans, the administration can't deport its way out of this situation.
