#MahmoudKhalil never shielded his face with a mask the way some protesters did. That made him a target when President #Trump decided to move aggressively against campus activists.

[Fairly sympathetic article from the #NYT.]

Give a bully what he demands & he'll demand more.

Columbia Journalism School faculty with a statement denouncing the detainment of Mahmoud Khalil and general attacks on the press.

"All who believe in these freedoms should steadfastly oppose the intimidation, harassment, and detention of individuals on the basis of their speech or their journalism."

Unclear what form this "steadfast opposition" will take at Columbia, but the statement does have the backing of the Dean.

"In effect, the promotion of Israel’s national narrative not only remains exempt from the wholesale attack on DEI, but it also functions as a weapon used to attack people and communities previously protected."

"The university was also told to begin the process of placing Columbia's world-renowned Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under academic receivership. This process requires an outside chair, who could be appointed by the government, to run the department for five years. "

"Other demands listed by the White House include a mask ban on campus, giving "full law enforcement authority" to campus security by allowing them to "arrest and remove agitators", and reforming the admissions process for its undergraduate and postgraduate programmes. "
