Columbia University cancels commencement ceremony after campus protests

[@Mike-pm2fc]

Why don't they cancel the protest for the day so that the graduation commencement can take place?

[@victoriabradshaw1384]

because they're selfish and inconsiderate.

Confirmation palestinians student agitators are a security and disruptive threat to the campus and other students. So why aren't they expelledd???

[@Letsplay222]

They aren't a security threat though. They haven't committed any violence. The cancelled graduation is just because they powers that be don't want the protestors' message to be amplified.

[@Susan-wz7mb]

Because we are living in BIDENS America.

[@joshuakellerman4104]

I am a Columbia Masters student, luckily will not walk in commencement until next year. I follow the Gaza protest IG pages just to see what they're up to but I haven't felt like their cause is legit enough to protest alongside them. Right now, the anti-Israel people are really pssd about the cancellation of commencement. It appears they spent a huge amount of money preparing for the disruptions they had planned. lol

Yes, stop federal funding of universities. Let students cover the fees on their own, and earn their rights to protest. Make the protestors put their money where their mouth is.

TO any ISRAELIS and JEWISH students reading this, I am reaching out to all of you. I am not Jewish, BUT I SUPPORT ISRAEL 🇮🇱! You are NOT ALONE. There MANY SUPPORTERS out there who are not Jews. WE ARE HERE. I am aware of WHAT HAPPENED to the Jews during WW2, the 1930s and 1940s. And it’s HAPPENING AGAIN TODAY! I will NOT go with the flow with the world 🌍 YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

[@wadams92101]

@@stmark4181 How about going forward a bit. The Nahkba. West Bank settlers. The assassination of Rabin. The annual disproportionate slaughter and brutalization of Palestinian people. And now, the mass murder of tens of thousands of civilians, mostly women and children, health care workers, humanitarian workers, journalists, and the utter destruction of Gaza. If you can only look back to the 1930s and 40s to recognize a genocide, It's likely that you would have gone with flow back then.

From the river to the sea, no tax payer money to the university or student loan forgiveness for thee

[@scoobydoo9579]

So the school decides to give-in to those who would disrupt and deny fellow students and their families their moment of accomplishments and happiness. This school administration is a great case study of incompetence. Their departing lesson to the graduates -- give in to bullies.

Students who want to continue protesting must publicly give up their Degrees given by the university and demand their names struck of the University's rolls, due to the genocide in Gaza. These ideological ones no longer have faith in the university and are ashamed to have ever applied to study there.
