Student journalists at @WKCRFM reporting that NYPD threatened arrest of student journalists and Columbia Journalism School Dean @jelani9 for leaving the Pulitzer Hall journalism department building for a better view of activity on the campus lawn
Pretty wild. April 30, 1968 - NYPD bust of Hamilton Hall protestors at Columbia University. April 30, 2024 - NYPD bust of Hamilton Hall at Columbia University. exhibitions.library.columbia.edu/exhibits/show/…
also, as far as I could tell, not a lot of identifiable Columbia faculty out tonight either-as compared to previous shows of support in recent days.
Super interesting to note the contrast between the way Brown University and Columbia University have handled these protests. Brown agreed to a governance vote about divestment, the encampment there dissolved.
Absurd.
there is a reason: to make an example out of them
there is a reason: to make an example out of them
I am outraged by the level of police presence called upon nonviolent student protestors on Columbia and CCNY’s campuses. As an educator who has first hand experience with the over-policing of our schools, this is personal to me.
I have to fall back and retreat for a bit. More soon.
A shameful lesson for press freedom and access
I want to repeat. The gatherings outside Columbia I’ve been at all afternoon have been peaceful. There is no reason to send in this much force
Police have set up truck with a plank and have been entering Hamilton hall
NYPD entering Philosophy hall
Somehow I am behind police lines with a kind elderly man named Andy
Police have come with batons, and riot gear threatening arrest. Crowd is ordered to disperse or be charged with disorderly conduct. Things are escalating quickly #columbia

@KarenAttiah @abolishislam1 But its incredibly professional and courageous student journalists are covering it live on @WKCRFM
Jelani Cobb, Dean of the Columbia Journalism School, says he’s been “told the police are imminent.”
ACTION ALERT: Large NYPD presence on and around Columbia University’s campus. Strategic Resource Group (SRG), unit known for violent arrests in response to “civil unrest” is present. Come to campus gates NOW and stand up for students.
It's true that student protests on US campuses have long looked like the current one: against Vietnam War, Iraq War, US support for South Africa, etc. The difference is those were critical of US Govt. The ones now are critical of Israel, for which there's far less tolerance.
I've covered campus activism since the late 90s. Nothing that's happening on campuses now -- sit ins, building takeovers, encampments -- is at all outside the standard vernacular of student protest. What's unusual is administrators calling in riot cops on their own students
columbia university admin threatened immediate expulsion for students occupying hind hall but couldn’t expel the students who attacked us with chemical weapons, despite hospitalizing 15 people.
Barnard is somewhere between 25 and 30% Jewish. A supermajority of Barnard's Jewish students just voted for divestment. But sure, we're the tokens
Barnard college is where 90% of the students voted for divestment from Israel and they interview a pro-Israel student lmao
A sitting Senator, labels Americans protesting against a foreign country accused of carrying out a genocide funded with our tax dollars as terrorists and puts a target on their back to be attacked. This is insanely dangerous and somehow no one will condemn it.
The uproar over this routine US diplomatic meeting in South Africa is bizarre. I heard one SA radio station today claiming it has "sent the country into a tailspin." Diplomats from many countries routinely meet with election commissions before elections. Not a nefarious plot.
It is normal for @IECSouthAfrica to meet with diplomats. They have already engaged EU diplomats & will meet the Dean of African Diplomats. @DIRCO_ZA is convening a meeting of the Diplomatic Corps for a briefing by the #IEC on the state of readiness for 29 May elections (standard…
A handful of elite schools — Brown, Wesleyan, Johns Hopkins — seem to have handled the Palestine protests gracefully. Their successful approach: don't send cops after students, talk seriously with the protestors, and enforce *preexisting* codes about speech and harassment.

"Greenblatt, head of the ADL, has stressed repeatedly that he is concerned about rising antisemitism. Unfortunately, he has also made clear that he cares about antisemitism only as he defines it and as it affects people who agree with him" By me @Slate slate.com/news-and-polit…

Faculty at #Columbia protecting students from possible arrest
The moment at which @Columbia defined its own faculty as posing a threat to the safety of members of our community. An insult which dishonors only those making it!
🔥from Robin D.G. Kelley in this Open Letter to Columbia University President Shafik: "You are keeping no one safe, except for your donors, trustees, and the university’s endowment." bostonreview.net/articles/lette…
Some personal news. I'm thrilled to join @econliberties and get the opportunity to contribute to their very important work. Bonus: I got a mention in @playbookdc for something other than my birthday.
Another fantastic addition to @econliberties as we welcome @helaineolen! We’ve been admirers of Helaine’s reporting for years and are excited to have her join us in the fight against monopolies.
The only threat to graduation at my university is posed by the incompetence and poor judgment of its leadership. The renewed threat this morning to sanction students was very ill-advised.
@KarenAttiah A local high school jazz band finished off a recent set with Tank! from Cowboy Bebop. You could tell the students enjoyed playing it!
Not me crying watching the Black students at Stanford provide free breakfast for everyone at the Palestine encampment. 😭😭😭 What a way to do the work and honor the Black Panther Party.
Somehow trying to prepare for final lecture of term whilst digesting fact that @Columbia President deliberately misled Faculty over their clear intention to escalate anti-camp measures, deadline 2 pm today.
