Columbia Students Who Protested Minuteman Speech Could Be Expelled
NY1 ^ | December 23, 2006 | NY1

Some Columbia University students who disrupted a speech in October by Minuteman Project founder Jim Gilchrist with a wild protest could be expelled.

The school's President Lee Bollinger says the students are being charged with breaking the school's code of conduct, and they will meet with a dean who will decide their fate.

Bollinger also says protesters who do not attend Columbia are now banned from campus.

Gilchrist was forced to cut his speech short.

"Wonder if anything will happen to the ones who pulled the fire alarm at a Tancredo event."

I searched the internet... it's a misdemeanor, felony, and federal crime depending on the circumstances.

Considering how much the parent’s pay, the students involved will just get a “sanction” … which means nothing in the overall scheme of things.

Even if they did expel the idiots I'm quite sure the ACLU would step in and try to put a stop to it. I can't even begin to imagine how many lawsuits would be filed by the parents of these brats.

This is the left we're talking about. "Scot free" sounds more like what'll happen. :)

They are going to meet with a dean, who will give them a "stern talking to". That will be the extent of the discipline against them. They will demonstrate to all on campus that "free speech on campus" is only for liberals.

Columbia is nothing but a whorehouse, and the clients have paid their money. They will not be expelled, guaranteed. They will have a nice little chat with the Dean and daddy's attorney, and all will be well.
