Columbia University senior Maryam Alwan was visiting family in Jordan over winter break when she received an email from the school accusing her of harassment. Her supposed top offense: writing an op-ed in the student newspaper calling for divestment from Israel.
The probe is part of a flurry of recent cases brought by a new university disciplinary committee — the Office of Institutional Equity — against Columbia students who have expressed criticism of Israel, according to records shared with The Associated Press.
In recent weeks, it has sent notices to dozens of students for activities ranging from sharing social media posts in support of Palestinian people to joining “unauthorized” protests.
I don’t think Trump had anything to do with what Columbia’s been doing to pro-Palestine student protest movement on campus. This is again suppressing dissent, silencing free speech. Fascism at its finest.
“All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter. 15.9k ReTruths 70.7k Likes Mar 04, 2025, 4:30”

I think my “favorite” is the professor who was fired, but now works at Yale University. Real elite system you got going there, for some people.

Lie better AP; they’re doing this because they wanted to, simple as that.
Let’s not pretend they loved the protesters before.
