Columbia has now posted a security guard outside of its "Zionist Thought" course. While we appreciate that @Columbia is taking this seriously, the fact that classes relating to Judaism/Israel require security is absurd and demonstrates how much more work there is to be done.

January 22, 2025 Update on University Actions Taken After Class Disruption: https://communications.news.columbia.edu/news/update-university-actions-taken-after-class-disruption (1/2)

A graphic reading: As a follow up to the statement made yesterday about an academic class on “The History of Modern Israel” being disrupted, below are actions that have been swiftly taken: We are expediting the full investigation of this unacceptable incident including identification of the individuals involved and appropriate disciplinary processes. We have modified our security protocols, including requiring CUID swipe for building access on Morningside campus. We have mobilized the Public Safety team to prevent future incidents, including identifying and directing additional resources to classes at increased risk for disruption. Our University Life team is providing support to students who were impacted by yesterday’s incidents. The Provost’s office and our Deans are providing additional support to faculty and instructors on incident management, reporting, and other concerns. We are partnering with NYPD to protect our campus, and its external gates and buildings.
