#Gaza Protester Legal Case: #ICE Got the #Columbia Student Warrant Under “False Pretenses” - law bars concealment of fugitives but university was not ‘hiding’ students in their public dorm

‘Universities such as #Columbia, with its 87 Nobel laureates, are global public goods, reliant on the American ecosystem. Much of their research couldn’t be done elsewhere. Bill Clinton called the US “the indispensable nation”. For universities, it is.’

"At Seventeen" is a song by American singer-songwriter #JanisIan from her seventh studio album #BetweenTheLines. #Columbia released it in July 1975 as the album's second single. Ian wrote the lyrics on the basis of a #NewYorkTimes article and used a #samba instrumental, and Brooks Arthur produced the final version. A #pop and #softRock ballad, the song is about a social outcast in #highSchool. Critics have regarded "At Seventeen" as a type of #anthem.

“…the Trump administration is not acting in good faith in its purported antisemitism concerns, nor is it following the law in its approach to universities. President Trump offered praise to a white-supremacist rally that included chants of ‘Jews will not replace us,’ publicly dined with Holocaust deniers, made common cause with Germany’s Nazi-descendant AfD party and invoked tropes about wealthy Jews. The true motivation behind his attack on universities is suggested by Vice President JD Vance’s declaration that the ‘universities are the enemy.’” —Larry Summers, economist, professor at Harvard University #HigherEd #academia #universities #education #AntiEducationRepublicans #AntiSemitism #Trump #TrumpAdministration #Columbia
"Coup at Columbia? School’s Capitulation to Trump"
"It feels like a kind of racial and ethnic cleansing that is happening on our campuses.”
"Students from abroad, even those with green cards & U.S. citizenship, are now terrified of being swept up in the Trump administration’s crackdown."
~Former Law Prof Katherine Franke

"Normally we'd say that #Columbia University & those #law firms taking in tens or hundreds of millions of dollars annually are powerful. They're #rich, they're highly visible, but in their acquiescence they have proven they are weak rather than strong, that what is supposed to be their power is their accumulation of #privilege they are so afraid to lose they turn out to also be afraid to use. If you can't use it, it's not #power and you're not powerful."

The new details of the final hours of the occupation of Hamilton Hall on April 30 were among the key revelations of the 335-page report, which was written by a group within the senate, a #Columbia policymaking body that includes faculty members, students & administrators, with faculty in the majority. The senate is #independent from the administration & has been critical of its #protest response.
#Columbia Campus Occupation Could Have Ended Without #Police, Report Says
A university senate review concludes that some demonstrators who occupied Hamilton Hall were willing to leave voluntarily.

> Twenty-two students, all of whom, like me, had been cleared of any criminal wrongdoing, were either expelled, suspended for years, or had their hard-earned degrees revoked on the same day—all for allegedly occupying a building that has been occupied at least four times throughout Columbia’s history.
"SURPR-ICE!...
"But seriously though, we've revoked your visa, you're under arrest, and will be deported."
