This type of behaviour is the norm at Columbia. Nothing will be done to the rioters. Mostly likely the university president is high fiving the organizers.
very true. this is simply being announced for public relations purposes.
Yes, Columbia is not a liberal (in the best meaning of that word) institution but one that's become captive of a far Left coalition of screwballs.
For another example, "Commentary" had an issue in '05 titled "Columbia and the Intifada" by Efraim Karsh. It describes the institutional anti-Semitism that's thriving there.
It's been often documented how some of the faculty and their indoctrinated student followers are denigrating Israel and even openly advocating its destruction. They're using the classroom as their forum for promoting a personal political agenda.
Actually, you're wrong this time. Bolinger, the President of Columbia, has sent a very strong letter to the student body about this incident stating the offenders will be prosecuted and that the university stands by free speech for all. This is a lot different than the 60's when the presidents of universities hid in their offices.
