For the 2nd time in a week, the @Columbia University Senate meeting disabled the Zoom chat. I assume they want to get their work done without distraction. Now they know how students and faculty have felt for the last several months.

The @Columbia Senate just shut down the chat in its plenary because it was distracting them from getting their work done. They did this while many Senators defended students being able to protest 24/7 in the middle of campus and take over Hamilton Hall.

An open letter from Columbia University faculty describes October 7—the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust—as a “military action” that falls “within the context of the occupation of Palestine by Israel.” Leave aside that Israel has not occupied the Gaza Strip since 2005.
