Some business owners are expressing opposition to hiring alumni from Columbia University amid ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at the Ivy League school in New York City.
In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Tom McClellan, the editor of The McClellan Market Report said that he will no longer be hiring "any recent graduate of Columbia, because that school is so tainted.
And I furthermore will not hire any older graduates either, because it has become evident that the academic rot is so deeply ingrained as to taint others who have come through that institution in the past several years," McClellan wrote.

Similarly, consultant Warren Kinsella said: "At the firm I founded 18 years ago, and in the war rooms I've run for the past 31 years, I've employed hundreds of young people. I'll never again hire one from @Columbia."

Yes because they are not taking a stand against these murder loving people. Wimps.
Columbia was also at the heart of 1968 war protests and so the students should have known what sort of school they were entering.
Yep. Exactly right. Avoid Ivy Leaguers like the plague.
High School students will get the message real fast and stop applying to Ivy League schools.
I’m proud to say I have not hired any Ivy Leaguers since 1987. That one was from Brown and was a great employee. I have interviewed maybe a dozen more Ivy Leaguers since then and always recommended someone else. One did get hired as the other interviewers liked him. He was gone in less than 2 years because he thought he was the boss and alienated every other member of the team -— all of whom had more experience and were better employees.
Yeah there are, but just like when one IDIOT in a platoon screws up the whole platoon has to suffer.
Eventually the platoon either corrects the screwup or they manage to get rid of him/her!
The purpose of this riot - like the purpose of the BLM riots is to show the country that the good people in this county are powerless.
they didn't care when our "star" athletes were kneeling on our flag....
but don't you dare protest Israel....
we know who are masters are, we just won't admit it...
This is wrongheaded. They should not punish moderates, libertarians, and conservatives who went to Columbia et all. It also wrong to think that students at other colleges are not indoctrinated with cultural marxist ideas.
