You don't suspend, you expel. If they are foreign students you void their visa and deport them. These young adults (NOT KIDS) need to learn there are consequences.

[njd]

Why don't the students go to another University such as Tehran Tech?

[Mrwrightside]

Not suspended, forever deportation to their generation

[Madman_MS]

About time! Suspend should be actually expelled

[kelli]

They don’t care. They think they’re untouchable.

[dhuntman]

This is the crap coming out of the American University system.

[williamgunther]

And we reward this chaos with paying off their student loan debts... the inmates are running the asylum...

[lakshmikesavan]

Good Decision..dismiss also the President of Columbia university

[anabelled]

Expelled should be the move and any foreign entities visas need revoked.

[Sam-vboc]

Stop treating them like they are children, they are young adults supporting a terrorist regime.

[sarahmizrahi]

some privileged kids are so confused...trying to feel like oppressed victims... because nowadays is a status symbol.

[trfslmr]

This will be the first time these kids have ever been held responsible for their behavior. The sad part is their parents are completely useless in guiding their own kids to make good decisions.

[dazzle]

Took long enough but they should be expelled

[mitzilangpitman]

They are not children. Actions have consequences.

[cornishsea]

The most privileged young adults in America 🇺🇸 are going to have a toddler temper tantrum over this 😅

[rosemaryclark]

thing is, the people who are protesting etc are not all students. Why are so many of them wearing masks still??

[ontherockswithsalt]

Just wait until they're out trying to get a job later. DENIED!!!

[Christa.Francis]

Oh wow ! Something is FINALLY be done !!! Took long enough !

[shadowmt]

Expel, not suspension! Cut money for these schools!

[manowar]

They need to be expelled not suspended.
