What do their parents think about this? You can't tell me they're all ok with paying tuition and their kid is doing this? I hope they fail them out of all the classes they're missing.

They do not represent the majority they have no authority to demand anything. They are violating the rights of others. They are acting like hostage takers with so called Negotiation demands Go Home and Grow Up.

Someone is feeding and sponsoring them.

Good 👍 👍 free speech this is not the way humiliating other students in the campus stopping them entering the university to study calling for Antisemitism University is not the place

Saying these pro-Hamas protests are peaceful, and not antisemitic and intimidating, is the equivalent of saying the Jan 6 insurrectionists were tourists.

Qatar, the world's largest sponsor of terrorism, is also the largest donor to universities in the United States, UK and Australia.  Qatar also owns the largest and most influential media network in the world.

Ch 11 reporter sounds like she just arrived in the usa and is still learning English. In any case the students are winning. They he have the university president on the ropes. Now is the time to remain united and boycott all classes until the university gives in to the students demands.🎉🎉🎉

Actions have consequences. This needs to be pointed out.

[andrecomb]

Parents need to stop paying...this is ridiculous

Teaching freedom of speach. Democracy. Human rights. All discredited. What a waste of time. Hypocrisy.
