Everyone in this thread wants to forcibly remove them. That would be temporarily satisfying but brings them and their cause into national attention.

They're not obstructing public roadways or spaces. They're camped out on the grounds of a private Ivy League in New York state. Who fricking cares what those nerds do.

Let them sit in their tents and realize that no one gives a frick.

Well, there is your solution. Kick them out of school and arrest them.

Imagine doing that with six figure debts and then turn to government for a bailout.

Set a date for their expulsion hearings. If they don’t show, the decision is easy.

Schools like this won’t expel because students are likely international and on visas. You remove them and then you lose full tuitions being paid.

I disagree. The belief is to leave them be and they'll eventually move on to something else out of boredom. The reality is that rarely happens.

Allowing such behavior is perceived (by the protesters) as approval and approval just leads to stronger versions of the behavior.

Build a wall around them, ask them if they want to leave after a few weeks.

All you have to do is expel them from the university and have the police remove them for trespassing!

Simple solution is to give them grades that reflect their attendance and completion of coursework.

LMAO.

Who even cares? They are in an enclosed area. Waiting for the first story of their collective outrage that one of them was harassed by a homeless person.
