Barnard, a women’s liberal arts college at Columbia, suspended more than 50 students who were arrested April 18 and evicted them from campus housing, according to interviews with students and reporting from the Columbia Spectator campus newspaper, which obtained internal campus documents.

On Friday, Barnard announced it had reached agreements restoring campus access to “nearly all” of them. A statement from the college did not specify the number but said all students who had their suspensions lifted have agreed to follow college rules and, in some cases, were put on probation.

On the night of the arrests, however, Barnard student Maryam Iqbal posted a screenshot on the social media platform X of a dean’s email telling her she could briefly return to her room with campus security before getting kicked out.

“You will have 15 minutes to gather what you might need,” the email read.

More than 100 Barnard and Columbia faculty staged a “Rally to Support Our Students” last week condemning the student arrests and demanding suspensions be lifted.

Columbia is still pushing to remove the tent encampment on the campus main lawn where graduation is set to be hosted May 15. The students have demanded the school cuts ties with Israel-linked companies and ensure amnesty for students and faculty arrested or disciplined in connection with the protests.

Talks with the student protesters are continuing, said Ben Chang, a Columbia spokesperson. “We have our demands; they have theirs,” he said.

For international students facing suspension, there is the added fear of losing their visas, said Radhika Sainath, an attorney with Palestine Legal, which helped a group of Columbia students file a federal civil rights complaint against the school Thursday. It accuses Columbia of not doing enough to address discrimination against Palestinian students.

“The level of punishment is not even just draconian, it feels like over-the-top callousness,” Sainath said.

Last week, the president of Shiraz University in the southern province of Fars, offered scholarships to European and American students who have been expelled for taking part in pro-Palestinian demonstrations on campuses. “Students and even professors who have been expelled or threatened with expulsion can continue their studies at Shiraz University and I think that other universities in Shiraz as well as Fars Province are also prepared [to provide the conditions],” Mohammad Moazzeni said. Moazzeni also criticized Western police's “autocratic methods” and said the “excessive use of violence” in order to contain this “sweeping movement” and threatening to expel the students from universities and hinder their employment in the future signal the “decline of the Global Arrogance.” Later, at least twelve other prestigious Iranian universities followed suit and offered free tuition to students suspended or expelled from their universities for staging anti-Israeli protests. Shahid Beheshti University, Allameh Tabataba’i University, Iran University of Science and Technology, and Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research, all based in Iran’s capital, Tehran, and Razi University in the western province of Kermanshah, as well as Ferdowsi University in the northwestern city of Mashhad, were among higher education institutions offering scholarships to these students. Mahmoud Reza Aghamiri, president of Shahid Beheshti University, in a statement, offered students who participated in “anti-Zionist protests” fully-funded scholarships and said the university would cover all expenses, including full tuition fees, accommodation and living costs throughout the degree course. Abdollah Motamedi, president of Allameh Tabataba’i University, described anti-Israeli protests in Western countries as “unprecedented” and “auspicious,” and offered scholarships and Persian Language programs to pro-Palestinian students expelled by their universities over pro-Palestine positions. Hashem Dadashpour, a deputy science minister for student affairs, announced that Iran’s Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology has endorsed the decision announced by Iranian universities. “Iranian universities are listed among good-ranking universities and offer graduate and post-graduate programs in any disciplines students prefer to study,” he stated. Ali Khatibi, a deputy science minister for resource development and management, also said Iranian universities are “welcoming all those expelled or suspended from US universities with NO tuition fees.”

a word to the wise sometimes the only true rest is looking beyond what you thought was success

so true! adamandi is full of wise advice such as this, including: "and you'll never feel better if you - fucking die- you stupid ass!"

[warcrimesimulator]

high school and (especially) middle school were wild looking back on it. I remember once I asked to go to the bathroom because I was sick, was denied, got up and went anyway- because I had to fucking throw up, and I told the teacher that when I came back and didn't get in trouble. but like jesus christ ma'am.

in middle school there was a strict dress code and boys specifically had to keep their shirts tucked in at all times, sometimes the principal or another admin would at random barge into your classroom, make all the boys stand up, and if anyone didn't have their shirt tucked in they would get sent to in-school suspension right away. can't even make this shit up.

everyone please send good vibes to my cousin so he doesn't get expelled a few weeks before graduating theological school for getting arrested at the columbia protests

Lawless academia

[spinsterennui]

My review is this morning lol 😂

@underlockv

yeah! i might be bruisy tomorrow -- looking more likely the longer the ache lingers, but who can say for sure at this stage -- but the kid who punched me targeted my arms and not my face or head or torso, so that coulda been way worse

just bizarre! bizarre. bizarre! i don't know what set the kid off. i can pinpoint possibilities, but this kid's M.O. is usually to flee situations they don't like, or to threaten people (tho this happened in previous classrooms, before they came to me as part of an intervention, the kid would threaten to stab other teachers with a pencil apparently, and things like that), or to like, give a kid a whack -- singular -- bc they don't like to use their words to communicate that they want to be left alone, even after facing consequences for that specific scenario a few times

but they, at one point, saw me across the campus and screamed my name and fucking BOOKED IT to where i was, then started yelling "back off!! back away from me!!!" while actively pursuing me to wail on me

strange and concerning!

Less than a week away until the funky ecologist (ie Cauliflower) is released in CROB, and of course, the lack of backstory is killing me. Sure Peperoncino/Calabrese's lore is fuzzy since he doesn't want to talk about it, but what's Cauliflower's place in it? She just does field work in the most wholesome and disastrous way possible, and her lack of foresight has done enough to put her in danger in multiple ways just in part 1 of the story.

Case in point, the only thing I can think of is that she used to be a teacher/professor like Wasabi (extremely likely that Wasabi had her teaching license revoked), and the only one who could've been her student was Aloe...Ecology, botany, they're pretty close together given their study of the earth and its associated fauna. Not to mention their recklessness to varying degrees, will not stop talking the second someone's interested in their work, and they both work for the betterment of Cookie's lives as a whole. Well, Cauliflower's working to study and/or stop the world from dying via dragon magic imbalance, but I digress. Let them have a legit student/teacher relationship, Devs!

I’m never going to finish that grad program lol

WOLVES

Real life horror creeps in when you least expect. You won’t find any ghosts, demons, giant monsters, or werewolves here. Rather, what two brothers find out in the woods is something where only one can survive. This isn’t your standard horror short as it falls more in line with a dark drama. But the pacing and tone really crafts a dark world where the characters live in. 

[stars-triumphant]

just let it be done already @/nta

fuck you.
