Columbia University faced criticism for allowing an unauthorized solidarity protest in support of a designated terrorist organization. The university has initiated an investigation and banned the outside speakers from campus.
But two days later, Columbia looked the other way while students held an unauthorized “All Out for Al-Shifa” solidarity protest .
On Tuesday morning, students began receiving emails from Holloway alerting them that they had been “identified as an individual involved in organizing, planning, promoting, hosting and/or attending this unsanctioned and unapproved event,” according to one such email obtained by Spectator. Holloway gave the students until 5 p.m. on Tuesday to contact the private investigator assigned to the case “to be interviewed in connection with this matter” or else “face immediate disciplinary action.
A suspended student received preliminary charges of disruptive behavior, endangerment, violation of law, violation of University policy, and “failure to comply.” The student was sanctioned with an “interim” suspension, making them unable to participate in classes and extracurriculars or enter campus without prior arrangements through public safety.
You might think that after the school finally put its foot down, the Intifada campus crowd would get the message. Instead, they pushed back harder.
