We have been discussing student editors and student government leaders using their positions to retaliate against the exercise of free speech by other students with the support of faculty. This trend is hardly surprising as journalism deans call for censorship and journalism professors call for the rejection of neutrality in the media. Universities have generally remained passive as students and faculty harass and punish those with opposing views. The latest such example was detailed in a column on the site College Fix on how students at Cornell University moved to oust student representatives who voted against disarming and defunding campus police. What concerns me most is the silence of the university on the controversy.
According to the report, students failed to pass a resolution calling for the defunding and disarming of the Cornell Police Department. After the measure failed, student leaders called for the removal of opposing leaders from committees or the student government as a whole. Uchenna Chukwukere, the Student Assembly vice president of finance declared
“These 15 student assembly members watched us pour out our traumas and fears on the floor practically begging them to vote no, and finally send a message to the university that we can no longer allow these oppressive institutions to keep us down. Many of these assembly members are white-cis-het men and women who quite literally laughed and danced in our faces when the resolution failed…Their faces are all over social media…We will never forget… their campus careers are over. … We must disarm, defund, and disband the Cornell University Police Department.”
Eventually, after a series of failed votes, the student organizers were able to pass Resolution 30, calling to disarm campus police by two votes.
Student Dakota Johnson, a Marine veteran, recounted a confrontation with a government leader where he was allegedly told that “As a white man, you cannot be the arbiter of what is and isn’t racist and who is a good or bad person. … You will never be the arbiter because you are a white man.”

The purges continue
That generation is full of morons.
Defund academia.
I’m waiting to see what these IDIOTS say when there’s a gunman wandering around campus killing people, as happened in Virginia, or a terrorist incident. Waaaaaaah just is not gonna cut it. The nationwide plague of our colleges producing communist idiots that take over all the student governments and force out conservative students is very frightening. They are the junior version of the professional agitators and thieves who just stole our election.
It is time to destroy the universities and purge the intelligentsia.

Too bad!
Try focusing on learning something useful...
Richardheads!
The LEFT behaving like nazis while calling everyone else nazis.
Oh. My. God!!!!
Their campus careers are over!?
I am sure they will recover. They will have a degree from Cornell.
We didn’t have enough home-grown commies and extremists, we had to import one like this.
Tolerant left at it again I see.
Giving the finger to Ivy League Campus fascists proudly and publicly today may seem frightening to a youth today, but I guarantee it will be a career enhancer in the future.
If this is what Cornell wants to do, fine.
I suggest they be decertified, and none of the kids getting
degrees from the university will be considered eligible for
a whole host of jobs that require degrees.
Whhen people who were academically unqualified were brought into universities for “affirmative action” or “diversity” purposes, it was obvious to rational people that standards would fall and the accomadations that would be made on their behalf would be bizarre and illogical. No academic subject or “discipline” is immune and even the so called STEM subjects have been weakened.
defund endowments to pay off student debts.
“Judge a man by the content of his character, not by the color of his skin.”
Was that said by a liar, or a fool? Or, perhaps, current notions are in error.
Which is both a racist and sexist statement.
College degrees after the year 2010 (and that's being generous) should be considered worthless. Do not hire any longer based on a college degree.
You have to lack basic intelligence to say something like this. It's embarrassing this person could be admitted to a university to begin with, let alone be eligible to be awarded a degree.
