Columbia University suspended students over a 'Resistance 101' panel featuring Khaled Barakat, who the school says is 'known to support terrorism.'
Columbia has suspended several students over an anti-Israel event last month that featured a speaker 'known to support terrorism,' the university president announced Friday. Columbia University President Minouche Shafik said in a statement that 'a number of students have been suspended as the investigation continues' into a March 24 event that 'took place at a campus residential facility' and 'that the University had already barred, twice, from occurring.
That's a good start, but not enough,' he wrote. 'The pro-terror umbrella group that organized the event constitutes 94 different official student groups. ALL 94 heads of the organization should be given 24 hours to either denounce the umbrella group or be suspended from campus.
left everything behind, my community, my partner, my work, my entire life based on Columbia’s promise of a full scholarship to pursue Palestine study,' she reportedly said. 'Ironically, my mom was so happy when I was moving to the U.S. to study at Columbia. She believed I would finally be safe outside of Palestine. Columbia is not only a complicit institution, it is a violent institution.' The suspensions come after Shafik vowed to take action in a Friday statement.
