It should also be noted that the details above, do not reflect the full scope of the University of Columbia's capitulation to the Trump regime. As this March 14th, 2025 explainer from Al Jazeera notes, the University already announced it had targeted a number of students who participated in the occupation of Hamilton Hall as part of campus-wide anti-genocide protests for suspension, expulsion, or revoked their degrees:
Columbia expels, suspends students after government threats: What we know
"Then, on Thursday, Columbia announced that students involved in last year’s Hamilton Hall protest have received multiple-year suspensions or outright expulsions following the university’s investigations. The months-long process was carried out by the school’s University Judicial Board, and included hearings for each student involved.
“Columbia is committed to enforcing the University’s Rules and Policies and improving our disciplinary processes,” the university said.
Others who have since graduated will have their degrees revoked, it added. The names and precise number of students sanctioned by the judicial board were not revealed.
According to The Associated Press news agency, several other students have been notified by university officials that they are also under investigation for sharing social media posts in support of Palestinian people or joining “unauthorised” protests."
Although the precise number of students targeted for reprisal was unknown at the time of publication, other sources have since reported that 22 students or former students were affected; including Grant Miner, president of the Student Workers of Columbia (SWC) union, who was set to begin negotiations between SWC and Columbia and present demands to protect international and undocumented student workers, the very next day.
Finally, while apologists have pointed out that the disciplinary process behind Columbia's reprisals had been conducted over the course of the prior year, I personally think that excuse falls flat. Der Führer himself threatened that "American students will be permanently expelled, or depending on the crime, arrested" in a proclamation on Truth Social clearly targeting anti-genocide campus protestors; three days later the Trump regime issued its demands to Columbia, and three days after that ICE kidnapped former Columbia student and protest leader Mahmoud Khalil while university officials, who had been warned by Khalil that the Trump regime was targeting him, stood by and did nothing. Furthermore, given that until now the disciplinary body investigating student protestors at Columbia had only issued suspensions, I don't think you need to be Columbo to connect the dots and realize this is all part of the same surrender to and collaboration with fascism by the university here.

On Thursday, the university said it was expelling, suspending and revoking the degrees of 22 students following last year’s #HamiltonHall protest,'

"Charges against most of the protestors arrested in #ColumbiaUniversity’s #HamiltonHall last month have been dropped. A total of 46 people were arrested for trespassing, but the Manhattan District Attorney’s office is dismissing 31 of the cases due to lack of evidence. Another 14 people were told their cases would be dropped if they do not get arrested in the next six months (conditional dismissal). The one..."

'The track is inspired by the work of #studentprotesters at #Columbia University, who occupied #HamiltonHall last week and renamed it “Hind’s Hall.” as a tribute to a six-year-old #Palestinians girl, Hind Rajab, recently killed by the #IDF in #Gaza.In fact, the whole song is a tribute to student protesters and their cause: An immediate #ceasefire and free #Palestine.'
#Macklemore just dropped a song about college protests, will donate all proceeds to Gaza

Wtf allows any old officers to carry firearms in a riot situation? It's too fucking easy to have your weapon taken from you. The weapons bearers usually carry rifles and shotguns ONLY, and they're ASSIGNED TO THE TASK. All others have no firearms. That's been SOP FOREVER.
An officer inside #Columbia University’s #HamiltonHall Tuesday evening to break up a pro-#Palestinians demonstration fired his gun, in an incident now under review by the Manhattan Duck Ass. https://www.thecity.nyc/2024/05/02/nypd-officer-fired-gun-columbia-hamilton-hall-raid/

To the current student protestors, you are continuing #Columbia tradition, and I am proud of CU #students for sparking a nationwide movement. (The occupation of #HamiltonHall also harkens back to '68, when students seized control of the building to #protest the Vietnam War and the proposal of a gymnasium in Morningside Park with separate entrances for students vs. the #community. The spirit lives on indeed.)

#wckr #columbia #protestor interview
After the protestors used tools to barricade themselves in
#HamiltonHall they intentionally left all tools in a hardware room so that there would be no misconception about them being armed.They sat in a row and waited, disoriented and passively after the flash bang bombs #nypd used.
The protestors were kicked and brutalized by police as they were arrested.

The Outside Agitators On Campus Were The Police 👮
After claiming her utmost concern with maintaining campus safety, #Columbia President Minouche Shafik made the decision to put her students in danger. Shafik published a request Tuesday night that the New York #Police Department clear the #Gaza Solidarity Encampment on the lawn as well as in #HamiltonHall, which had been taken over early that morning by students
Officers in #riot gear used disproportionate force to tear down barricades, injure protestors, and make dozens of arrests…

Hamilton Hall was raided by the pigs on April 30th, 1968, a Tuesday. The students stood for justice against racial violence and the imperialist war in Vietnam. Now, on April 30th, 2024, a Tuesday, Hamilton Hall has once again been raided by the pigs, ordered to suppress resistance from students who are standing against imperialist genocide, here and now.

I saw smoke from footage of #HamiltonHall. This explains what was going on... The police were using FLASH GRENADES on the protestors!
From '#FlashBangs' To '#RubberBullets': The Very Real Risks of '#RiotControl Agents'
June 6, 202010:29 AM ET
By Will Stone, Carrie Feibel"How dangerous are "flash-bang" #grenades?
Flash bangs are explosives that are intended to stun and disorient people. "All you are trying to do is make a loud noise and a bright light," says Mesloh, who compares the explosion to that of an M-80 firecracker. Flash bangs are designed to temporarily blind or deafen people. But in rare circumstances, they can cause serious injuries (like blowing off fingers or hands) or even death. That may happen when the police officers make an error throwing the devices, and injure themselves. You are also at risk if a flash-grenade explodes near glass or gravel, creating a dangerous spray of tiny sharp fragments. Also, flash bangs can start fires."
