#Columbia Student Gets DEATH Threats for Protesting #Gaza #Denocide
Cette lettre à #Columbia du Gouvernement américain est complètement délirante. Demande de mise sous tutelle d’un Département et répression complètement dingue contre tous les mouvements étudiants. Au moins, on voit que ce pouvoir a peur des étudiants et des manifestations dans les #Universités https://s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25577971/31325-letter-to-columbia.pdf

How a #Columbia Student Activist Landed in Federal Detention
#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.

I wonder how long it will take before #Columbia desavows Edward Said.
Give a bully what he demands & he'll demand more.

"So far, America’s leading universities have remained virtually silent in the face of this authoritarian assault on institutions of higher education. That must change. Harvard must stand up, speak out, and lead a public defense of our freedom to speak and study freely."

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. "
