I was on The ReidOut a couple days ago talking about the protests on the Columbia University campus, and she asked me about how I got thrown under the bus by my president at the Congressional hearing a few weeks ago - check out my response here:

The furor over campus protests hit the news cycle just as Palestinians uncovered another mass grave in a hospital recently evacuated by Israeli forces, and families are searching for signs of their loved ones among mutilated and decomposing bodies. 🧵

In my view, Columbia University is a real estate holdings venture that tolerates academic classes as a side hustle. If it actually delivers on the threat to close down the campus & evict students & faculty, then it'll have merely excised the side hustle, revealing its true beating heart.

Congratulations Joshua Sealy-Harrington - what a well deserved honor!!

This was an enormous amount of work, and I’m so honored to collaborate with Barnard student leaders who were steadfast in demanding that their suspensions were a betrayal of Barnard College’s fundamental values.

Columbia Law School professor Katherine Franke on #TheReidout re Columbia protests and setting the record straight!

So appreciated the chance to talk about the inspirational student activism at Columbia University on The ReidOut tonite!

Thanks for the shoutout to our 'Bearing Faith' report, Melissa Murray (@ProfMMurray on Threads 🧵)!

Read the whole thread on the mention of Catholic hospitals during yesterday's oral argument on emergency abortion care.

These comments from Rep. Foxx are offensive on so many levels. 'Inmates are running the asylum'? This is incredibly biased against people with disabilities - does she really want to characterize Columbia as an 'asylum' and our students as 'inmates'?

Join us on Thursday, April 25 for Suffs x ERA Night on Broadway!

LRRP Supports Religious Liberty on Campus: We condemn the recent arrests of students for acting on their religious and moral commitments in protesting the war on Gaza, and call on Columbia to protect students’ right to free expression, assembly, and religious practice.

'Courts cannot venerate anti-abortion religious beliefs while rejecting the sincerely held pro-abortion beliefs of pregnant people... It would be unconstitutional.' Read Dr. Ryan's op-ed on the Indiana decision recognizing a religious right to abortion. rewirenewsgroup.com/2024/04/19/ind…

So proud of Dr. Christine Ryan of The Law, Rights, & Religion Project - this is an important lecture!

My marvelous colleague Prof Christopher Brown (CU History Department) brought the 🔥 at today's Columbia faculty action opposing the arrests of students, suppression of free speech and the congressional threat to independence in higher education. Here's the whole thing.

So glad this event is taking place. When we scheduled an event honoring Edward Said's legacy last November, organized thru the Columbia University Global Center in Amman, Columbia canceled the event: twailr.com/online-panel-a…

⁨The US should not be sending more offensive weapons to an Israeli government that has operated with callous disregard for human life.

We need to save lives, promote de-escalation & advance peace across the globe.
