Power of NO: Colleges are finally starting to stand up to students and punish them

Power of NO: Colleges are finally starting to stand up to students and punish them for acting like brats
It seems like we are finally seeing the return of one of the most important words you can hear on a college campus: “No.”
Last week, some 150 students at Pomona College, a liberal arts school in Claremont, California, stormed the building that houses school president Gabrielle Starr’s office — and refused to leave, in protest of the removal of pro-Palestinian art on the campus.
Starr did not shrink from the invaders, who were filming her. Instead, she confronted the students, issuing a warning.
“If you do not leave within the next ten minutes, every student in this building is immediately suspended from this institution,” she said in a video posted on X, adding that students from outside schools will be banned from campus.
She put her foot down and showed that, on her watch, actions have consequences.
Starr’s warning came after swarms of pro-Palestinian students at Vanderbilt University pushed past a security guard and occupied Kirkland Hall, the site of the chancellor’s office, late last month.
Things reached parody level in Nashville when students called 911 because one of them needed to change her tampon. Four were arrested; three were expelled, one suspended and 22 given disciplinary probation.

Suspension? That's not a punishment for them

Yeah, I don’t care if these schools finally have a backbone over Israel-Palestine

I would like to know if they still stayed or risked suspension

Eh, for the most part colleges created this animal, so I hope they feel the pain of what they created...

A little odd that this happens to be the one issue that cant be protested and suddenly our instututions have a backbone.

Aggressive pro-terrorist protests in favor of people who want to murder and exterminate an entire race of people from the planet is a pretty big deal, though. It's nice to see those schools starting to push back on something.

It’s just about money.
They don’t want to anger their Jewish donors.

When conservative speakers can speak on college campuses without provocation then I will be hopeful.
This is just one woke group clashing with another woke group.

They need to hear it sooner, more often, and everywhere, backed up with stinging buttocks.

The professors probably put them up to it.
