“#Columbia University president hit with no-confidence vote after #protests
In the symbolic action, some faculty expressed concern about recent decisions including calling police to campus.” #studentprotests #nypd
“faculty who voted are in the school of Arts and Sciences … Of the 709 faculty who cast a vote, 65 percent supported the motion, 29 percent were against it, and 6 percent chose to abstain.”
Would’ve been my vote ^^

UAW 4811, representing almost 50K student workers at the University of California, votes to strike over UC response to student pro-Palestine protests.
'The union has five demands, including amnesty for students and faculty who were arrested, as well as divestment from companies that are profiting from the war in Gaza. They also want researchers to be able to opt out from funding sources tied to the military or "oppression of Palestinians."'

I am riding the subway with #columbia students in their full cap and gown regalia commuting 30 minutes to Inwood for their graduation ceremony. There are probably about 20 kids and their families in my car.
I see one student with her cap decorated with a hand embroidered floral interpretation of the #palestine flag. (I purposely did not take a picture of the student’s face - I want no part in doxing.)
#StudentProtests
The students seem happy and maybe a bit exhausted. And calm.

"California State University placed Sonoma State campus President Mike Lee on leave Wednesday after he agreed to protesters’ demands to involve them in university decision-making and pursue divestment from Israel."

#nypd abused students and other protestors at #columbia and #ccny and around #nyc #StudentProtests
Helpfully Gothamist gives the context that only 20 complaints wrt these #protests compared to 750 during the 2020 George Floyd protests. Not clear the start end dates for this context.
And Hard to know if that’s an improvement without having a guess for the relative number of protestors. (Were 2020 #blm protests 40x larger? Seems possible.)

This morning the Cal Poly Humboldt administration responded at length to student Gaza Solidarity protestors' demands.

Kind of hypocritical of Cal Poly Humboldt administration given that they're in charge of the cops in this situation. They could, you know, just not tell the cops to arrest the students.
“The University is deeply concerned about the safety of the protesters who have barricaded themselves inside the building,” Cal Poly Humboldt said. “The University is urgently asking that the protesters listen to directives from law enforcement that have responded and to peacefully leave the building.”
