As back-to-school season nears, students and faculty are preparing to return to campus — and to protests.
Pro-Palestinian protesters who wreaked havoc on Columbia University’s campus in the spring have already declared they “will be back.” The fall semester begins Sept. 3.
So what is Columbia doing about it? The big picture is unclear. But their initial strategy seems pretty thin.
In a July 24 email to students, faculty, and staff, university president Minouche Shafik said her team is “working hard” on fostering community, clarifying rules and defining discrimination in anticipation of the fall semester.
“We truly flourish when we engage with different perspectives from a foundation rooted in mutual respect and a commitment to rigor and open inquiry,” Shafik said in the statement.
She is correct that freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a liberal education — something Columbia purports to offer its students — but the university’s damage-control solutions are likely too little, too late.
Radical campus activists have proven they are willing to get arrested en masse for their cause. University-sponsored bonding seems unlikely to win over their hearts and minds.
According to Shafik, the university is rolling out “community-building” programs called Dialogue Across Differences — which provides seed grants for relevant student and faculty projects — and Campus Conversations, which hosts seminars like “Exploring Freedom of Speech and Cancel Culture” and “Safety or Surveillance: How Do You Feel About Having IDs Checked.” (Notably, IDs are required for attendance.)

Kamala will set up a bail fund.
Minouche Shafik is still around? I thought they’ve gotten rid of her by now.
Only the BTLSOT treatment will work with slime.
Beat The Living S*** Outta Them.
Not even close to kidding
More likely this is what will happen.
We will be keeping your tuition money, but not you.
You have just received an expensive lesson in the need for tolerance and civility.
Take it to heart.
Jews are ready to fight back now. Expect UCLA in spades. And the lawsuits will be amended to seek injunctions ordering the colleges to comply with Title IX and protect students. Lawfare works both ways.
I thought the problem is that they're all Democrats?
Good timing! A nationwide outbreak of vicious Jew-hatred on campuses just before the election.
They have been eclipsed in the news by all the very recent events in national election politics. I’m so sad for them.
Immediately arrest them, throw them in jail, kick them out of school, and let the schools invite kids on their waiting lists.
Yay! More looting and destruction in ‘The People’s Republik of Madistan.’
Bring it! Burn it all down, Kids! It’s your birthright...or something. Or, MAYBE you’re being PAID to do this stuff?
*SMIRK*
Try this at an SEC school ...
Palestine U.
Disruptions, eh? Nothing a properly applied 3-foot long, 2-inch diameter, piece of oak couldn’t fix.
Maybe they should contract with the Ohio State National Guard.
*Jews are ready to fight back now.

Think Iran vs. Iraq-Kissinger.
Why not,
Go full wild mode and full rogue. No consequences, no punishment, have fun.
Take over a location, destroy everything, make demands.
Get all the exposure and be a hero to the press.
If anyone challenges you and you get harmed.
Sue and win millions.
So again, why not.
What’s the vegetable in chief going to do if/when a venerable institution gets really damaged? Hope it happens between 10 & 4. 10/4?
Deport the foreigners, arrest the rioters, and shoot the ones who start violence. End it fast.
But then again. I do enjoy seeing the liberal monsters turn on their creator.
