Columbia administrators seem to have misunderstood Mario Savio’s famous 1964 Free Speech Movement address, since they are both “the people who run it,” and the people grinding the basic functions of the university to a halt.
incredible self own by the administrators. a few dozens protesters could've never been so disruptive to shut down the entire columbia campus but in trying to stop the protests, the administration did it for them
1968 looms so large in Columbia lore! There's nothing more predictable than students taking over a building in the spring (and this was just a lawn)! Truly, truly baffling decisionmaking.
