Of course, OP left out that the cancellation of funds was due to them harassing Jewish students and the university not doing enough to combat that. I'll have to do more research, but the reports say Jewish students have faced relentless violence, intimidation, and anti-Semitic harassment. That does change my stance on this a little bit.

Also, Linda McMahon (yes, that Linda McMahon) is the Secretary of Education. Trump seemed to put a lot of people in positions that they seem unqualified for while talking down on DEI. Make it make sense.
You said that with confidence as if Jewish people aren't murdering innocent Palestinian people...


So Jewish people are getting harassed because they're being protested against for their people murdering innocent people?? :mjtf:

You sound like a dumb fakkit bruh.

Above the fray.

Trump’s Cuts to Columbia Were a ‘Gun to the Head,’ Faculty Lawsuit Says​

The Trump administration’s cancellation of $400 million in aid violates the Constitution, a teachers’ union and a faculty group argue in a new suit.

March 25, 2025


Two groups representing Columbia University faculty members on Tuesday sued the Trump administration over $400 million in federal funding cuts and demands that the school make dramatic changes to student discipline and admissions policies.

The plaintiffs, the American Association of University Professors and the American Federation of Teachers, asked a Manhattan federal court to restore the funding and argued that the cuts were unconstitutional.

The two groups and Protect Democracy, a nonprofit organization representing them, said in a news release that the funding cuts and an accompanying letter demanding changes to Columbia policy violated the First Amendment. The Trump administration’s actions “have created instability and a deep chilling effect on college campuses across the country,” the statement said.

People are being black-bagged for mild op-Ed’s at this point. If somebody losing their job is too far a consequence, I don’t know how to explain that things are going to get so, so, so much worse.

@seizethebanks
This. I’m going back to college next week with the hopes of becoming a teacher expressly so I can agitate the youth for revolution. If I get fired someday that will be the whole point. I don’t understand how cowards can become teachers.

They fire me, they'll get an ugly public lawsuit.

Guess you all can't be any more hateful racists that you are. When are you "fools" going to realize there's really only one race.

@secondcivilw4r
I think the point they’re making is that a couple thousand professors would lose their job and it wouldn’t advance any of your goals, it’s essentially throwing away your job for nothing.

But then again, if leftists were capable of second order thinking they wouldn’t be leftists

Get over yourselves. Read the rules—they’re in English, not Arabic. Broken agreements mean broken contracts. Stop trashing the country that lets you live here. Embarrassing to everyone who actually came here for a better life —but that’s cultural differences for you.

Trump supporters weren't afraid of losing their jobs, they organized to defend themselves politically and bail themselves out of jail.



12/59
@CalvinDeu
It's entirely likely they'll lose their jobs if they don't become activists.



13/59
@KidneyEnvy
Absolutely. The principled academics can, will, and do lose their jobs knowing those are the stakes. The ones who stay in academia long-term generally won't take a meaningful stand that will risk their positions, power, privilege, etc. hence why/how they remain in that position.

College professors (and others) lost their jobs by the hundreds for opposing the war against Vietnam.

@bluebear1312
The vast majority of Civil Rights Movement organizing was thoroughly strategized and people were trained for. People should absolutely take actions w/ big risks, including job loss, but not wantonly. Otherwise it’s just voluntarism

They threatened to quit at Yale in 2019, an entire department, and the university had to listen. Most of the same professors have not been signing the petitions going around. Academia breeds experts who don't believe in what they teach. Like the whole economy, it's fraudulent

@FTtheMusician
That and a lot of professor have tenure too (and knowing what some professors can get away with, protesting against genocide compared to all that is really nothing)

We need to be organized and provide support though, can't expect people to lose their jobs over shyt if there is no one to back them up.



27/59
@AnarchistClass
Civil rights activists in the 60s skewed towards people who were less likely to lose their job, who could afford to lose their job, or who didn't have a job anyway. Students, priests, non-profit staff, union staff, unemployed, etc.



28/59
@AgnesGueco
This is such a privileged take. Not everyone can afford to lose their jobs because finding a job in this economy is already extremely difficult and, especially for immigrants, losing their jobs means losing their right to stay in the US.

And people lost their husbands and wives because maoism exists

I feel like this is more complex a subject matter than just “fukk them jobs”. Would you tell that to someone who worked for 10 years and just got their dream job that helps people? Use some nuance but otherwise I mostly agree

These people's only way of resistance is to run away and maintain their comfort. Run to Canada, Europe, etc. or run as they watch their students vanish into thin air. These academics aren't the defenders of democracy folks think

You mean communist professors who should have been fired or not even given a place because of their ultra far left maxist belief.

of course the jobless armchair communist doesn't understand the value of a job. the only thing you do is post all day on twitter such that one cannot easily scroll down to post from only 2-3 days ago

You first. It's real easy to tell others to sacrifice while you sacrifice nothing. You want people to follow? Lead by example. You sacrifice your job,and family support first.

@DukeofTrausnitz
As organizer, it’s your job to convince people of the necessity of taking risky action. do this through structured organizing conversations. Lecturing people about how they are cowards if they don’t participate is not an effective means of convincing them

Abducted by ICE. Use the correct legal term Rep, AOC. Dangerous, criminal Illegals are being apprehended and returned to their own country’s for incarceration. These illegal criminals should’ve never been allowed in this country in the first place if Biden wasn’t so incompetent!

Remember people that abstained from voting for Kamala or even voted for don because of the Biden administration’s policies regarding the conflict? Yeah. This is better, right?
Maybe they can go wake their dead relatives up and tell them that Columbia university lost their grant money :jbhmm:
