Two Sets of Rules! It's time to stop Federal and State funding!

Mahmoud Khalil is here on a VISA! get him the hell out of here.

Suspension is just a vacation. No professor will fail any of them. Expelled is the only real punishment. Wasting all their parents money wont go over well at home.

[enigmaticme]

Start arresting the instigators that are not students on School property...

[deeannakim]

Excellent! About time. How about permanent criminal record ……

[devildogus]

How come Florida was able to clean this up so quickly?

[PoolsideData]

they need to be expelled and we need a list of names so they can be published and employers can avoid them

Lesson 1 on life: you do not get your way by throwing a temper tantrum and making demands.

Good!!! Leave. Deport. Evict. School is for learning. Not agitation.

First, this has been nothing but an attention grabber movement. Nothing these ppl do will contribute even the tiniest bit to helping Gaza or the Palestinian people.
Second, all this has done is create chaos on campus and dividing students, and creating nuisance during exam season.
Third, there are way too many outside, non-Columbia forces interjecting into this movement and causing this to blow way out of proportion.
Finally, those protesting who are here on student visas, wtf are you doing? Now you're suspended and you are forced to go back to your country without a degree. If you came from a country where US rarely approves visas, good luck coming back.

I'm glad they're being suspended and I hope they still have to pay their full tuition

You can do whatever you want but there should be consequences.

Good! It's not about stopping free speech, it's about stopping disruptive behavior.

"we will not be moved except by force", she proclaims. Ok, sure, that's totally fine.

[efirub]

What is surprising is not the stupidity of the protesting students, but their meanness and their moral degradation.

[inerbeast]

Since they are going to college, you'd think they would at least be knowledgeable about the conflict.

[lynncampbell]

The students know the college doesn’t really mean it.

[francislarv]

These fools whine Meanwhile bright students are in their rooms studying

[gogulkn]

University is place of knowledge. A student is accepted on the basics of acquiring knowledge. The moment a student steps outside this line, then he or she has no business being a student at that Uni! Its the Uni's duty to inform immigration dept to have these elements deported. US citizens should be counciled.
