Columbia University has suspended for 1-3 years or expelled more than 70 students for their roles in the disruptive Butler Library protest during finals. Good. They deserve it. A spokesperson said, “Our institution must focus on delivering on its academic mission for our community. And to create a thriving academic community, there must be respect for each other and the institution’s fundamental work, policies, and rules. Disruptions to academic activities are in violation of University policies and Rules, and such violations will necessarily generate consequences. The speed with which our updated UJB system has offered an equitable resolution to the community and students involved is a testament to the hard work of this institution to improve its processes.”
