It was an honor to stand today with @columbia students and faculty to call for the release of the Bibas family and all the hostages. Kudos to @talzuss and peers for leading this moving gathering. @bringhomenow

One down. Three to go. In connection with Tuesday’s disruption of a History of Modern Israel class, Columbia University has identified and suspended a Columbia participant, pending a full investigation and disciplinary process. The investigation of the disruption, including the identification of additional participants, remains active. Disruptions to our classrooms and our academic mission and efforts to intimidate or harass our students are not acceptable, are an affront to every member of our University community, and will not be tolerated.

In addition to potential Title 6 violations, this is a clear violation of University rules. @Columbia must act quickly and strongly to hold these individuals accountable: (8) (serious) continues for more than a very short period of time to physically prevent, or clearly attempt to prevent, passage within, or unimpeded use of, a University facility, and thereby interferes with the normal conduct of a University function;
On the first day of classes, anti-Israel protestors interrupted @Columbia’s “History of Modern Israel” class and handed out flyers showing a boot crushing a Star of David. Columbia is out of control. And to be clear, there is no “academic freedom” to disrupt classes.

Last Friday, a @Columbia Senate report shared an excerpt of an email I sent - without my permission - to support the actions of Senate Leadership at an earlier protest. The full email - which I would have been happy to have shared - would have shown that while I was critical of some of what the University did or didn't do that day, my biggest issue was with the weak, ambiguous and confusing rules set forth by the Senate. It is the only reason why the Senate Chair was included in my email to begin with.

It was wonderful meeting with the political leadership from Berlin. Thank you for taking the time to meet with our team and students @cbhillel
Nach einem freundlichen Empfang durch @brcohen am @cbhillel ging es um ernste Themen, die beide Städte betreffen. U. a. ging es @CorneliaSeibeld um die Frage, wie man mit Antisemitismus und Protesten nach dem 7.10.23 an Universitäten umgeht und jüdische Studierende schützen kann.
