yes, Columbia evicted students last night, 2wks after Vanderbilt did the same. they arrested students for “trespassing” on the campus they pay tuition at, a strategy we’ve seen at other schools including Pomona. this is what the strategy on Palestine campus suppression *has been*

Re argument that Columbia/Barnard faculty won't do anything bc so many live in housing controlled by the university: many Columbia grad workers also live in university housing & still went on strike, so🤷& unlike many faculty, most grad workers don't have second homes upstate.

Im begging Columbia profs not just to tweet in solidarity but to actively boycott— withhold their labor, stop grading and teaching classes, don’t administer tests… it’s the only way to protect the students

If Columbia professors get it together to actually strike, I promise I will stop telling the story on here about when certain redacted figures crossed the grad worker picket line to participate in a panel “commemorating” the 68 student strikes

Columbia arresting 100+ students, just for hundreds more to take their place, is cool as hell.
