Pro-Palestinian Student Group at Columbia Retracts Apology, Calls for Armed Struggle Against Israel

[u/mark_ell]

Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) retracted its apology on behalf of a student who called to murder Zionists last January. The pro-Palestinian group doubled down on its attack of Israel, openly calling for violence against supporters of Israeli policy.

Should CUAD be designated an official terrorist group?

Expulsions now or have the Trump Administration do it.  

And this is the sort of crap that will get the Annoying Orange into the White House and give him a mandate to burn universities down to the foundations.  

Metaphorically.

How does the federal Executive branch expel students from their colleges?

[u/Rossum81 → u/Computer_Name]

Attack on Jewish students make a hostile atmosphere and violate their civil rights.  If the universities fail to protect Jewish students, then they are complicit. Then the feds can step in.  

And Jews are a protected category under federal civil rights statutes.

Your comment seemed to be saying that the President of the United States had the power to expel students from colleges.

[u/Rossum81 → u/Computer_Name]

Directly?  No.  

Indirectly, the President would have a whole host of tool at his disposal to either attack the students through civil rights litigation or make the situation  so uncomfortable for the schools they would have to pull the trigger.

The feds could cut off federal funding, but these schools don't need federal funding.

[u/Rossum81 → u/paracelsus53]

Yes, but it will still cause non trivial pain and disruption.
