Columbia Bent Over Backward to Appease Right-Wing, Pro-Israel Attacks — And Trump Still Cut Federal Funding

Protesters are demonstrating in front of police along the perimeter of the Columbia University campus in New York City, on April 30, 2024. New York City police are arriving in riot gear this evening at the request of the university to conduct a raid to remove pro-Palestine protesters who are occupying a campus building. Students stormed and barricaded Hamilton Hall the previous night in protest of university investments in the context of the Israel-Hamas conflict. According to the university, they are now facing expulsion for their actions. (Photo by Melissa Bender/NurPhoto via AP)

Instead of outrage, the school’s interim president responded to the cuts by vowing to continue its misguided crackdown.
