Columbia University is colluding with the far-right in its attack on students | The Guardian

In her willingness to unleash state violence against student protestors, Minouche Shafik proved herself to be a willing ally to extremists…

To that end, she made only tepid defenses of academic freedom, instead favoring wholehearted condemnations of the protestors, assents to bad-faith mischaracterizations of the students as antisemitic and genocidal, and public, apparently on-the-spot, personnel decisions that removed some pro-Palestinian faculty and staff from their positions.

@Denny There's been some controversy at IU also. A Palestinian artist exhibit was cancelled and a professor was suspended over a solidarity event. These two things, along with some other brewing controversies, led IU faculty to vote 93% in favor of a no confidence resolution aimed at the relatively new university president.
