This is all so dumb, allowing janitors and other students to feel like hostages in their own university. Cmon Columbia, get it together...

[richardpark]

Columbia admin needs to stop warning and start doing.

[SiestaSolis]

columbia sounds like those moms at the store that keep telling their kids 'your gonna get it when we get home' LOL

Columbia admin….”I’m gonna count to 3 then you’re in trouble”.

1…..2……2 1/2…….2 3/4………2 7/8….

Reminder that hamas spent $300 million on dumb tunnels instead of helping their civilians living in poverty

Be careful, students, or you might get a strongly-worded letter.

That university needs to suffer the consequences of its anti-American stance

1. Ok, this is the last time, ok?
2. Ok, I am putting my foot down, ok?
3. Ok, I am going to tell you one last time, ok?
4. Go back to 1

I don't understand. So they're against the war in Gaza. But what exactly did they think would happen when the Palestinians sneak-attacked Israel??

[philspd]

Oh no!!! Not another finger wagging. 😲

[alfonsosalinas]

Yet if someone waves an American flag Columbia will consider that has a hate crime

[neal.karn-jones]

I want to see consequences for Columbia University. They educated and motivated these misled students. The students should pay too if they crossed the line, but leadership at Columbia is really the main problem

[patrickmccarthy]

It looks like Columbia has security like Home Depot has security.

[janechoy]

Columbia students and faculties should not have to have their safety and freedom to use university facilities and grounds be jeopardized by other fellow students or trespassers who've taken over the show.

Turn off the electricity, turn off the water, don't let supplies in and they will give up soon enough.. like as soon as their cell phone dies.

[craigentrekin]

No talks, no negotiations. Forcibly remove, expel, and if on visa, deport anyone who refuses to vacate.

[MarthaMarra-pmex]

Greatest respect for the courageous students who raise their voice against this absurdity and criminality

[victorparedes]

Face expulsion? That does not mean ‘will be expelled’, does it? The University is beholden to the wealthy parents, so there is another level to this threat.

[susettteschacherl]

Turn off the water and electricity in the building!

[ansalicru]

Empty consequences, like a bad parent, behaviors will continue without those red lines
