Columbia Suspends Pro-Palestine Student Groups Amid Crackdown on Free Speech

“No one should participate in any Columbia events until SJP and JVP are reinstated,” one civil rights attorney wrote.

Columbia University says its suspending two campus Palestine groups.

In a statement posted on the school’s website Senior Executive Vice President of the University and Chair of the Special Committee on Campus Safety Gerald Rosberg said the university is suspending Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) and Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) for the remainder of the fall term.

Dunno what happened to auto tldr bot, but basically both were calling for peace in Palestine by holding a joint peaceful walkout

Uni got mad they didn’t register and approve the event, because registering and approving a walkout is definitely something you’d wait a whole month to get denied, so they suspended the organizations.

Seems kinda dumb considering a walkout can’t really be called an event.

zerfuffle,

Fuck Columbia, fuck Harvard, and fuck MIT. These schools are literally supporting genocide.

I guess MIT/Harvard isn’t surprising since Bibi is an MIT/Harvard alum.
