Ivy League in general is going to have a lot of this same problem.


A number of schools do stupid shite but the Ivy League ones tend to be on the cutting edge of stupid shite, in part because their reps and endowments shield them from consequences.

Lower end schools are a lot more vulnerable to actions by businesses, alums, etc, than ones with a ton of money and stroke.

That isn’t to say it doesn’t happen, but Chico State is more vulnerable to this than a member of the University of California system.

I have my own thoughts on these protests, but I'm referring to the guy. He's not hiring Columbia grads? Who the hell cares? Does he want a pat on the back from right wing Twitter or something?

For whatever reason, Columbia seems to be the genesis of this particular astroturfed "movement".

Personally, I think it's because it's located in NYC, and this loon Judge Merchan is forcing Trump to show up in court each day for this bogus hush money trial. My guess is they're hoping these protests eventually intersect with the folks who are showing up in support of Trump.

ETA - It's worth noting that apparently Columbia is way up on the NW side of Manhattan, while the NY Supreme Court building is down on the extreme south end of the island. The only thing worse than my NY geography is my knowledge of California.

I’m still waiting to see proof that these protestors are actually antisemitic and violent against Jews. It does not count if like 95% of the protesters are peaceful.

This reminds me of the Canadian truckers protest that got smeared and sabotaged by Trudeau because one dumbass or plant showed up waving a swastika flag

My money is on plant. Just like the folks in blackblock who showed up at the Capitol on Jan 6 and started swinging.

Sounds good at first but there are plenty of good people coming out of Columbia. It's not just a Columbia thing either, these freaks are at schools everywhere. He'd be better off simply saying I won't hire leftists

Yale
quote:

Chants of “There is only one solution, intifada revolution” could also be heard on videos from the demonstration, a reference to periods of deadly Palestinian uprisings that included terrorists carrying out deadly suicide attacks against Israelis.

Ann Arbor

quote:

College administrators across the US have struggled to find the best response, caught between the need to respect free-speech rights and the imperative of containing inflammatory and sometimes violently antisemitic calls by protesters.


Columbia
quote:

“Antisemitic language and actions are unacceptable and calls for violence are simply abhorrent,” she wrote after videos taken inside the encampment showed some students chanting “Zionists not allowed here,” “Go back to Poland,” and other students calling for “10,000 October 7ths.”



You ain't looking.

The rot is too widespread to target them all at once. Make an example of one and the others will take notice. Of course, it would take more than one potential employer.

Please.....Ivy league is incestuous. So many grads from Columbia will no doubt be hired by grads from Columbia or Harvard or Yale. All those NYC Wall Street firms......

I’m sure he got all of the attention he wanted from that virtue signaling tweet.

My cousin is a 2nd year student there and he’s “come home” and has been home for the last 1.5-2 weeks due to this crap.
