A pundit called Asian students "grade grinders" destroying American schools. Reality: n=20,000 survey shows Asian American kids lead in sports (63%), arts (59%), AND community service. The real complaint? "They're too good and we can't compete." garryslist.org/posts/the-new-…

@CUJewsIsraelis Tenured faculty members' "bosses" are not department chairs, deans, the provost, or even the president. They are appointed and tenured by the Trustees. Administrators simply don't have top-down managerial authority when it comes to faculty. facultyhandbook.columbia.edu/content/office…

Today, Columbia allowed an on-campus event organized by groups that 1) promoted last night's synagogue protest and 2) have supported Yahya Sinwar. @Columbia's statement said that they confirmed that the groups "do not endorse, condone, or promote violence." Very reassuring.🙄

@columbiafsi @Columbia @CUJewsIsraelis @CU_JewishAlumni @LishiBaker @Davidlederer6 @jonny_led @shoshanaaufzien The groups that promoted the demonstration are not recognized by Columbia and do not receive any funding or support from the University. Any organization that promotes violence or encourages disruption of our academic mission is not welcome on our campuses.

Columbia is once again screening The Encampments – not once, but twice! The film is pure propaganda, whitewashing the encampment's pervasive antisemitism. Many of the participants interviewed have ties to terror, like Naye Idriss, whose father founded Masar Badil, which shares leadership with the PFLP and Samidoun, and Sueda Polat, who organized the Resistance 101 event with designated national Khaled Barakat (PFLP leadership). Why is @Columbia, through its Journalism School, Paris Global Center, Knight First Amendment Insitute, Center for Palestine Studies, and Institute for Ideas and Imagination, legitimizing the encampments and the lie that there was no antisemitism on campus?

Gosh, we wonder why @Columbia doesn't want to be associated with CUAD, a pro-terror organization whose goal is to destroy the university... 🤔 A real head-scratcher!

(🧵 1/9) The @AAUPCU acting president Michael Thaddeus is normally known for his meticulous documentation and attention to detail. But in a statement to @ColumbiaSpec, he is factually wrong (and, we suspect, knows it). columbiaspectator.com/news/2025/10/3…
