Columbia Students Who Protested Minuteman Speech Could Be Expelled

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.

Absolutely. Free speech and independent thought are utter dead at Columbia. All you get there is amazing costly Marxist indoctrination, not an education.

I'm not betting the farm...

One of my former bosses teaches at Columbia. He left his beautiful wife and children for another woman more to his superior liking. His wife was a real treasure but she wasn't a professor. Very sad.

Bull***t. What are colleges should do is rewrite the standards for speakers on campus, and clearly state that no Christian, conservative or any views criticizing secular humanism will be tolerated under any circumstances. Potential speakers should have to present their proposed speeches in advance for review to determine that diversity, affirmative action and an abiding hatred of individualism and traditional Christian morality is reinforced. Christianity could only be referred to in the context of derision, ridicule, obscenity and sacrilege. This policy would change absolutely nothing on college campuses, except for the restoration of intellectual honesty.

These guy's move slower then the Government.How long does it take?

[newzjunkey]

Good. I hope they are expelled. There is no heckler's veto.

Hilarious. But the only action likely taken would be a cut back in deserts or coffee refills at the student center for next term.

They'll be placed on double secret probation.

$100 says they are not expelled.

This administrator must be confused about what the minutemen stand for.

Nothing will happen to the criminals, since they're RATS. This is just throwing a bone to conservatives.

[MaestroLC]

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.

Translation: They will be given a second chance because they are good kids and made a mistake. They really believe in freedom of speech. They will attend sensitivity and tolerance classes, after which they will be even better at being Stalinists to conservative voices on campus.

If these were conservative students that did the same thing, they would be expelled and put in jail. Hypocrite, they name is Bollinger.

Seeing will be believing. This smells of show business.

[airedale]

They'll be let off scott free after the faculty &students protests that anyone is thinking of holding them responsible for their behavior. In fact the university president may get punished for even considering taking action.

[Chi-townChief]

Nails it.
