 Calls for tuition refunds as Columbia moves to hybrid classes for rest of semester in wake of anti-Israel protests

Columbia University has announced that classes at its main campus will be held remotely for the final weeks of the semester — as critics blasted the “weak” administration for allowing anti-Israel student protesters to shut down the college “in essence” and called on parents to seek tuition refunds.

“It’s vital that teaching and learning continue during this time. We recognize conditions vary across our campuses and thus are issuing the following guidelines,” provost Angela Olinto wrote in a Monday night notice to students and faculty as the anti-Israel encampment on campus neared the seven-day mark.

Classes on the university’s Morningside Heights campus will be hybrid — “technology permitting” — through the end of the spring 2024 semester on April 29, the letter said.

Faculty without the means to provide hybrid classes were urged to consider the fully remote option, and to “provide other accommodations liberally” in the final days of the semester.

Columbia has given up on providing a safe learning environment for all students.  The terrorits win.  Way to go cheese-eating-surrender-monkey Columbia Administration.

Smokin Joe:
I called for this day one that Columbia said to move to online courses.

Some classes just cannot be conducted effectively online.

Look at it this way.
Maybe Columbia will close down ... for good.

This would be A GOOD THING.
Since the 1920's, the place has been a hotbed of communism/leftism.
Good riddance. Use the campus and buildings for housing the homeless.

I'm on record in this forum for stating (in all seriousness) that most of the colleges and universities in this country should be shut down, the students sent home, the faculties and administration fired -- and prevented from ever working in the educational field again.

Let Columbia become the first step in this process.

They have all gone from Ivy League to Bush League.
