I am a professor and as of today, I quit my position as Artist-in-Residence #ColumbiaUniversity which I have served for the past two years. I am an Associate Professor at Hunter College and in support of the courageous student protestors at Columbia, I cannot in good conscience..
The absolute fucking insanity of our media and political class obsessing over restricting college kids freedom of speech at #ColumbiaUniversity while they completely ignore the MASS GRAVES in Gaza.
They donโt report it on purpose but this is WHY students are protesting.
The #ColumbiaUniversity students protesting against genocide in Gaza are being brutalized by police and attacked by media and the administration. Like all other movements before, theyโre always smeared, lied about and cracked down on by the powerful.

I'm a Columbia alumni and I'm not giving them any money until they reverse the suspensions of peace protestors. If Israeli supporters can buy the allegiance of these universities through alumni donations, we can do likewise. #ColumbiaUniversity#ColumbiaDonationBan
โJust a day after the House voted to send $14B in unconditional military funding to Netanyahu's campaign of death and destruction, he bombed the safe zone of Rafah AGAIN, killing 22 Palestinians, of which 18 were CHILDREN! History books will write about today and the past 7 months, and how our nationโs leaders lacked the courage and moral clarity to stand up to a tyrant. Shameful.โ
