A California college president is vowing to get tough with anti-Israel student protesters terrorizing her campus.
Roughly 150 students at Pomona College in Claremont demonstrated at an administrative building on campus housing school president Gabrielle Starr’s office Friday, then stormed the building and refused to leave, according to the San Bernardino Sun.
Video circulating on X showed students calling on the school to “stop funding genocide” and berating police officers as “KKK.”
They briefly occupied Starr’s office, according to eyewitness accounts.
At least 18 students were reportedly arrested.
Several of the students used “a sickening, anti-black racial slur in addressing an administrator,” Starr claimed in an open letter to the college community.
“These actions are actively destructive of the values that underpin our community,” she wrote of the Alexander Hall occupation. “Any participants in today’s events … who turn out to be Pomona students, are subject to immediate suspension. Students from the other Claremont Colleges will be banned from Pomona’s campus and subject to discipline on their own campuses.”
The moves from Pomona suggest colleges are starting to rethink broad campus free speech policies that have allowed universities to became daily staging grounds for pro-Palestinian student demonstrators since the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by Hamas which left at least 1,200 dead.
Pomona College is not the only school to change its approach to protests.
Last week the University of Michigan announced a “disruptive activity policy,” creating tough new penalties for students who interrupt official university events including classes, field trips, athletic events, performances, speeches, award ceremonies and graduation, the school announced.

Pomona President Gabby Starr is ‘solid’ (per our Godson).
Nope. He’ll be hit with numerous lawsuits by the spoiled babies entitled parents.
Claremont Men’s College was conservative when I went there.
Then some pussified leftist beotch took over and ruined it like every other college.
(SPIT!)
Why do those brats like Hamas so much? We know that Israelis don't put babies in ovens or chop off little girl's legs in front of the parents, before shooting the family, like the arabs did. How can these brats equate that to accuse Israel of "genocide", when the innocent Jews were brutally attacked causing the war. I say the brats are evil spawn of hell, and should be air-dropped into Gaza without parachutes.
Communists say Stop the genocide, Massacre Israel.
A clear case of cultural appropriation. Bring on the Thought Police!
About time.
Saw some video of the “protest” Seemed like I was seeing plenty of the unwashed are of Chicom origins. Probably getting their marching orders directly from the homeland.
CMC is not bad by today’s standards. Nice to see Pomona drawing a line.
