Clara C. began working at Columbia University one month after the start of the genocide in Gaza in October 2023. She was hired in the Germanic Languages Department as a Department Assistant. Like many incoming members of the Columbia community, she had high hopes for her time at the university. Seven months later, the illusion of Ivy League ambition and a rich intellectual environment vanished when she was suspended from her post, ostensibly because of her involvement in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. By early summer, she was terminated.
Clara pushed back. No evidence had been presented in her dismissal, and – against university protocol – there was no union representative present when she was fired on May 10, less than a month after her participation in the encampment. Together with her union, Clara filed a case arguing that she was wrongfully terminated and demanding reinstatement and back pay.
Columbia is a Spook school , with a well imbedded military intellegence and / or CIA theatrics , complete with hundreds of actors. They began the phony and fake campus protests , you could see them in their matching shirts, backpacks, beards, hiding through hoods that these were grown men. Not clueless students. Similar to the other fake protests one saw at the other spook colleges (Harvard, Stanford, for ex);the police included. In general real students are usually too busy with school work to waste time on a fake campus protest.
A cast of hundreds of thousands worldwide- definitely.
There is no such thing as free speech and soon there will be know such thing as thinking.
