AnarchoNinaAnalyzes<p>It should also be noted that the details above, do not reflect the full scope of the University of Columbia's capitulation to the Trump regime. As this March 14th, 2025 explainer from Al Jazeera notes, the University already announced it had targeted a number of students who participated in the occupation of Hamilton Hall as part of campus-wide anti-genocide protests for suspension, expulsion, or revoked their degrees:</p><p><a href="https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/14/columbia-expels-suspends-students-after-government-threats-what-we-know" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">aljazeera.com/news/2025/3/14/c</span><span class="invisible">olumbia-expels-suspends-students-after-government-threats-what-we-know</span></a></p><p>Columbia expels, suspends students after government threats: What we know</p><p>"Then, on Thursday, Columbia announced that students involved in last year’s Hamilton Hall protest have received multiple-year suspensions or outright expulsions following the university’s investigations. The months-long process was carried out by the school’s University Judicial Board, and included hearings for each student involved.</p><p>“Columbia is committed to enforcing the University’s Rules and Policies and improving our disciplinary processes,” the university said.</p><p>Others who have since graduated will have their degrees revoked, it added. The names and precise number of students sanctioned by the judicial board were not revealed.</p><p>According to The Associated Press news agency, several other students have been notified by university officials that they are also under investigation for sharing social media posts in support of Palestinian people or joining “unauthorised” protests."</p><p>Although the precise number of students targeted for reprisal was unknown at the time of publication, other sources have since reported that 22 students or former students were affected; including Grant Miner, president of the Student Workers of Columbia (SWC) union, who was set to begin negotiations between SWC and Columbia and present demands to protect international and undocumented student workers, the very next day. </p><p>Finally, while apologists have pointed out that the disciplinary process behind Columbia's reprisals had been conducted over the course of the prior year, I personally think that excuse falls flat. Der Führer himself threatened that "American students will be permanently expelled, or depending on the crime, arrested" in a proclamation on Truth Social clearly targeting anti-genocide campus protestors; three days later the Trump regime issued its demands to Columbia, and three days after that ICE kidnapped former Columbia student and protest leader Mahmoud Khalil while university officials, who had been warned by Khalil that the Trump regime was targeting him, stood by and did nothing. Furthermore, given that until now the disciplinary body investigating student protestors at Columbia had only issued suspensions, I don't think you need to be Columbo to connect the dots and realize this is all part of the same surrender to and collaboration with fascism by the university here.</p><p><a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ColumbiaUniversity</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/AntiGenocideProtests" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AntiGenocideProtests</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/SWC" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SWC</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/MahmoudKhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MahmoudKhalil</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/GrantMiner" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GrantMiner</span></a> <a href="https://social.treehouse.systems/tags/HamiltonHall" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HamiltonHall</span></a></p>
