Give a bully what he demands & he'll demand more.
Report: "White House tells Columbia to sack academic staff over Israel criticism"
Trump is threatening to pull government funding from Columbia & demanding it sack the leadership of the Middle Eastern, South Asian & African Studies Department & place it under “academic receivership for a minimum of five years”.

“If you were accepted to #ColumbiaUniversity, don’t come here,” tweeted a student. “This school will ruin your life for a #McChicken and a nice tweet from Donald Trump.”
On March 7, the fascist rulers of the US cancelled $400m in grants & contracts with #ColumbiaUniversity.
On March 8, lawful permanent resident & green card holder Mahmoud Khalil was temporarily disappeared/ illegally detained by ICE for his lawful speech.
By March 14, #Columbia expelled students & revoked degrees for anti-genocide protesters & further ICE repression of speech occurred.
Columbia was a test case showing that supposedly-upstanding US institutions will bend the knee to #fascism.
"Vandals targeted the home of Columbia University’s president, splashing the historic residence with red paint and scrawling the words 'Free Them All.'"

Columbia FUBAR'd the Gaza protests by treating protesters like criminals and making them vulnerable to absolutely illegal detention (as we see in the Khalil case);
They prematurely aligned with law enforcement, so now they can't/ won't intervene when ICE/DHS oversteps.
They cooperated with that sham of a Senate hearing, and now they're getting their funding yanked, and the government wants to make them a propaganda arm.
Good job, #Columbia. You're fucked.

This piece quotes offensive statements made by other Gaza protestors but not a single word uttered by Khalil. And certainly no deeds.
A curious omission given her thesis that while his views are odious they’re nonetheless protected by the first amendment.
