I've heard conflicting reports about this. I saw a report that Columbia gave the option to attend class remotely in addition to in person. But seems like a lot of this is muddy at this point as the administration isn't quite sure how to handle the situation.Originally posted by BigPiney View Post
It is more that what is going on right now is disrupting education. Columbia has gone all online for classes for the rest of the semester. That is annoying.
At the very least, this type of behavior and reactions to it can devalue the education experience and prestige of the degree. I wonder how much of this nonsense is limited to the humanities departments of these schools.

Heard an interview with a Jewish student at Columbia on NPR. He felt by going hybrid (you can do 100% home if you want ), the university was basically telling him “we can’t/won’t protect you”. Kind of hard to argue against that.Originally posted by USUC View Post

I'm completely agree. Grad school was really important for me for so many reasons other than just education and I would have missed out if I just did online classes.Originally posted by Jeff Lebowski View Post

That student is correct. Columbia knows what they should do, they just won't do it. They need to hold in person classes and protect all students and suspend or expel any students that make a threat to another student. This isn't hard and they have the resources to do it.Originally posted by falafel View Post

I'm choosing to mostly ignore your fatuity here and instead overwhelm you with so much data that you'll maybe, just maybe, realize that you have reams to read on this subject before you can contribute meaningfully to any conversation on this topic.

Its a school first. Plus its a private institution, so there's no issue with state-sponsored deprivation of speech. There's no right to free speech on that campus. Not legally.Originally posted by Moliere View Post
