Barnard is the sister school to Columbia from which Rep. Ilhan Omar's daughter was suspended and left "homeless" and hungry (they wouldn't let her into the dorms or the cafeteria). And now we have a faculty revolt, with professors marching to the president's office chanting, "No more suspensions!" As Jon Lovitz just asked, "What the hell are you being taught?" They're being taught to hate America and Jews.
NEW: Faculty in revolt!

Don't they have classes to teach? Oh, that's right, all of the students are in the Gaza "Liberation Zone" in their tents.
Fire them.

If the faculty resigns in protest, we can solve two problems at once. https://t.co/skiWWI6r7n

Imagine how many positions that opens up.

If those professors feel so strongly about Hamas, they need to volunteer to go help the freedom fighters in Gaza.

Shut it down, refund the non-offending students' tuition, and put something useful on the land.

Not to be outdone, faculty members at Columbia also walked out in solidarity with the pro-Hamas protesters.
Columbia faculty have staged a walk out to oppose the university’s decision to arrest members of the pro-terror mob.

As far as I know, 0️⃣ faculty have walked out in protest of the harassment of Jewish students. pic.twitter.com/Yqq6a1svfG

The universities built an entirely Woke culture. They raised hell any time Woke campus culture was challenged, anywhere in the country.

I sincerely hope they’re completely torn apart by the monster they created. https://t.co/V3vUZmHJPc
Faculty are a major source of the problem. Anti-Zionist faculty see activism as a central part of their teaching role. There is almost no counter-balance, pro-Israel faculty with rare exceptions don't get hired b/c the hiring committees are run by anti-Zionists. Academia is… https://t.co/Cs0QErii95

"… Academia is broken beyond repair."
Ayn Rand wrote an essay in the 1960s to explain the apparent paradox that the leftists were attacking the very universities whose leaders were the most sympathetic to their cause - they were a soft target.

Colleges do not need to exist. They do not manufacture anything or provide an essential service. They can shut down, fire everyone and sell the real estate. Watch.

I really don't think they can be saved.

Shut them all down.
Fire everyone.
Start from scratch.
When you've lost control of your student body and your faculty as well, you have some decisions to make.
If the uni's administration had any balls, they'd just shutter the whole campus. Lock all the doors. Post armed security everywhere. Fire all the staff and faculty. Dismiss all the students. Ride out the wave using the endowment funds. Just close.

They probably have no idea that calling the police because radicals have taken over the administrative offices is considered normal everywhere else.

Great example of taking seriously the fact that "There are a lot more of us than there are of them." The "ruling class" needs to be taken down completely. Nothing they do is in our interest.

As soon as they start to expel, deport and arrest, you’ll see how fast your Hamas movement stops

Classes were canceled, so what were they walking out of ?
— David Bernstein (@ProfDBernstein) April 23, 2024
We thought they were supposed to be doing remote learning because it wasn't safe for certain students to come to class.
They'll be back. They need their paychecks. People need to pay their bills at the end of the day. All those faculty aren't going to just leave their jobs.
— Andrea Karshan | #JusticeforMalkiRoth (@karshanandrea) April 22, 2024
Hope you get deported
— Max (@MaxNordau) April 22, 2024
Lock the doors, fire them all. Hard reset.
— Compass | Prime (@PlotACourse) April 22, 2024
And they're not even pretending this is just about students' First Amendment rights. They haven't walked out for any other cause.
Seriously, fire them.
