Columbia University president Minouche Shafik urged other university higher-ups to “engage in serious soul searching” over the fallout from the campus protests in a new op-ed about campus free speech.

This college needs to be shut down.

[@BB-ro4vz]

Time to review Columbia's academic accreditation. Does it need to be revoked, is the question.

[@LadieKadie]

Deport

[@damianvisser977]

Fire her

[@April-ks8xz]

She absolutely allowed the continued chaos and Jewish kids were tormented against!!!!!!! She needs to be fired

[@skipfluck4299]

She was not competent enough to be the president of Columbia, and she needs to move on. Stop appointing because of their ethnic background and gender.

Frankenstein was the name of the scientist . 😊

[@mrbbruiser.5488]

Tar and feather.

[@maxs9445]

resign already..

[@angellove1632]

Free speech is one thing and then there's infringing upon the rights of others and destroying private property, not to mention the threats and assualts that were made (pssss those are crimes) know the difference between them

[@fritzvolz1640]

She could have stopped it as soon as it began, now she's trying to save her job.

[@bobisgollis5168]

What?..she is an instigator..

[@stevenmorris2293]

Huh ?

[@_Make_America_Native_Again_.]

Pro-PaIestine protests remind me of the 1960’s civil rights movement ❤

[@easter_sunday]

They're nothing of the kind. 60s protesters were against Americans being drafted into war. These protesters are NPC's who are only out there because Tik Tok told them it was the cool thing to do.

[@lovermansmith9082]

It's so sad these kids have to use segregated drinking fountains. I wish I was opposed as these elitist childern 😊

[@_Make_America_Native_Again_.]

Freedom of speech for the brave pro-PaIestine protesters ❤

[@maxs9445]

are you also Hamas, like all of them?
