Occupy... Such a euphemism. When you occupy a home, do you destroy it?

[Yosef-nt]

How in the hell does she get the right to resign? She should have been fired!

[bobleveille]

Now get the professors who participated in the riots!

[BellaCroyda]

Why did they pick her??? Was she a DEI appointment.??? How about the new person?? DEI as well???

[denishahaver]

The government needs to step up SAFETY OF ALL AMERICAN CITIZENS NOT JUST A SELECT FEW!

An Arab a member of England's House of Lords?!

[yogiSmichael]

Thank you for your resignation. You've helped ruin our youth

Columbia is a university. Is there a rule that says when an employee decides to quit her job that she must go before our government in order TO GIVE HER NOTICE ? In my day we would simply go to the Head and……quit.

[denishahaver]

Did she resign for antisemitism or calling cops to stop the DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY?

[EatMyOats]

Did Columbia instantly rehire her to teach gender studies? Alumni want to know

[sahralel-eqlo]

toilet paper only once its turn is over.

Average conservative: “She’s a DEI hire.”
Other: “so you’re saying she only got the job because of her race/sex/gender?”
Conservative: “yeah!”
Other: “sounds like you’re just a bigot.”
Conservative: “stop race baiting!! *head explodes*

Finally ! She did a lousy lousy lousy job at Columbia. She should have shut down the protests in the beginning days before it got out of control. Bye Bye.
