NEW: Yesterday Vanderbilt students pushed their way into a campus building to conduct a sit-in in the lobby of the chancellor’s office:
They’re protesting the administration’s decision to shut down a student referendum on BDS. Image
This was the scene inside yesterday:
The Vanderbilt Hustler reported that at least seven students were suspended on an interim basis: Image
Here’s more video showing the students taunting a police officer:
The number of students suspended is up to 16.

The university is reiterating its commitment to free expression but indicting that the protestors are violating time, manner, place restrictions and risking campus safety: Image
A reporter was arrested yesterday but later released. It sounds like charges will not be pursued. Image
Later in the evening, the students said the administration brought Panera Bread for security but was denying food and bathroom access to students.

They were peeing in bottles.

Some students started to realize they might get arrested while trying to report that one young woman was in danger of toxic shock:
Students outside chanted, “Let them pee! Let them eat!”
They report that one of the students outside was detained or arrested:
Nashville police (“at least 20 officers in 15 cars”) were called to the scene in addition to the Vanderbilt police who were already there.

The student was arrested for allegedly breaking a lane of glass.

The Vanderbilt Hustler has a ton of great coverage here:

Three students have now been arrested:
In the end, four students were arrested (three inside and one outside), and all the students inside were given interim suspensions, which means they can’t be on campus and had to leave by 5pm local yesterday.

Disciplinary hearings start today.
The day after:

The Princeton protestors have to be some of saddest/funniest of all.

🧵 Image
First, they leaked documents (adapted from Columbia) outlining their plans and strategy before they even started:

BREAKING: CUNY Graduate Center President Joshua Brumberg negotiated with students occupying the lobby.

They want charges against those involved in the CCNY encampment dropped.

He’s agreed to no discipline for the current occupation if they leave peacefully.

Image
The protestors are leaving:
Here’s what the protestors said afterward:

“Today we honored our martyred Palestinian intellectuals and forced Grad Center President Brumberg to amplify our demands to CUNY admin. Our sights are set on the CUNY Chancellor and the BoT who are responsible for CUNY's genocidal zionist investments. We will be back.”

“We will escalate again and again until CUNY divests, boycotts, expresses solidarity with Palestinian resistance, demilitarizes campuses, and returns to a tuition-free, fully-funded People's CUNY.”

“This is just the beginning. We will be back, again and again and again, until CUNY divests and meaningfully supports Palestinian liberation.”

“It has not gone unnoticed…that many of those who are now demanding the right to protest have previously sought to curtail the speech of those whom they declared hateful.”

Excellent editorial by the NYT:

“Establishing a culture of openness and free expression is crucial to the mission of educational institutions. That includes clear guardrails on conduct and enforcement of those guardrails, regardless of the speaker or the topic. Doing so would not only help restore order on college campuses today, but would also strengthen the cultural bedrock of higher education for generations to come.”Image
“Student codes of conduct and other guidelines are meant to relieve some of the tension between free speech and academic freedom, as well as to ensure that schools are in compliance with government regulations and laws. Every campus has them. But rules matter only when guardrails are consistently upheld. It’s in that enforcement that the leadership of too many universities has fallen short.”
“During the current demonstrations, a lack of accountability has helped produce a crisis.”

BREAKING: Harvard has reversed course and will require applicants to submit standardized tests scores in the next application cycle.

“For the Class of 2029 admissions cycle, Harvard will require submission of scores for the SAT or ACT. In exceptional cases in which applicants are unable to access SAT or ACT testing, other eligible tests will be accepted.”Image
Harvard had previously announced it would remain test optional through the next two admissions cycles: Image
The reasons given for the change are similar to those offered by other colleges, i.e., withholding tests scores hurts some students during the admissions process:
