Anyone who thinks that going to a University gives them the right to negotiate with the University President as equals in good faith on an issue they disagree with, is neither reasonable nor realistic.

[chervang]

It is about time. Students need to learn to take responsibility and accept consequences.

[treasuretrails]

These clowns have never had any real consequences in their life...

[alanle]

Clearly not the kind of people that a company would want to hire. Disobeying rules and making demands.

[BitterPillPapa]

The U should disallow protesters from covering their faces for all protests!

Don’t be crying when you all are taken to jail

[wecandobetter]

IF they really get suspended which I doubt it will sure make for some upset parents who ponied up the big bucks for their education

[michaelkolbe]

So let the University go broke and end up with it being tore up from police trying to remove them .

If they do nothing after deadline everyone will laugh at bluffing. But if they arrest and suspend hundreds of students massive numbers will transfer to other school.

Students defying a deadline are punished, politicians that defy a deadline are rewarded with vacation....😅

[rbwirth]

Suspend? Better to expel or they're just going to do it again.

[alanle]

If you don’t like the fact that a University invests in something that you don’t like, then don’t go there!

[alexhue]

Just like NYU cops will move in when it gets dark. My god shit will hit the fan and both sides will demand president to
step down.

Why don’t they take this protest to Washington and protest there. Make them stop sending our tax money to support Israel.

[petersullivan]

No negotiations with terrorist .This is the University's fault for letting this to continue this long.

[ddmcpaisley]

Stop indulging these people. Shut the campus down, go home for the summer and let them sit & spin w. no audience to shock.

[cride]

Suspend them and enroll students who want to learn how to think and not what to think.

FREE COUNTRY, FREE SPEECH
NO ONE WANTS WARS!!!!

Arrest, fine, expel, deport where appropriate. Don't hire. America is a nation of laws. There are consequences for their actions. And, they must pay back school loans. Taxpayers want their money back.

Will Columbia suspend the entire student body? As the participants note, that is small change compared to the 34, 000 lives lost to Israel's genocide of Palestinians.
