Barnard College in New York City is an affiliate of Columbia University although they are considered separate campuses. Last month, two students from Barnard were expelled for their actions in taking over a class on Israeli history at Columbia. On Wednesday and Thursday of this week, the Barnard campus was taken over by protesters demanding that Barnard reinstate the two expelled students. As a result, two employees were assaulted and one required hospitalization.
How this will play out in terms of disciplinary measures remains to be seen, but at first glance, it appears that Barnard has not shown any strength in dealing with the pro-Hamas thugs and thugettes. But when people are assaulted, it demands the strongest punishment. That means people need to be prosecuted and expelled.
Below are three articles dealing with the latest disturbances. The first is from the Washington Free Beacon. The second is from the Barnard campus newspaper, the Barnard Bulletin. The third is from the Columbia Spectator. As you might guess, the two campus papers are loathe to criticize anything the pro-Palestinian thugs and thugettes do.
