Is this a punishment? Shame on Columbia University
Last week Columbia University released the punishment for the anarchists who rushed the stage last October at a Minutemen Event held at Columbia, ending the event and curtailing freedom of speech. Shamefully, it took the university SIX MONTHS to come up with a "punishment" for these lunatics. They were given a WARNING. Is this a punishment? If lunatic anarchists like these see that they only receive a warning, what prevents them from repeating this behavior? They paid no price for their outrageous behavior. This will encourage more students to rush stages at events in which the views of the speaker maybe different than their own. Columbia set a very dangerous precedent. These students should have been expelled and their transcripts should reflect their misbehavior. This would prevent anymore such incidents. Further, future employers and grad schools have a right to know that a candidate can not respect the views of others and become out of control when they disagree with an individual. Lee Bolinger has got to go. He had a chance to rectify what was done on his campus and he failed as an administrator and as an educator. Shame on you, Mr. Bolinger!
