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:

Progressives continue to acknowledge the failure of their vision of immigration:

“Parts of the left have ignored a basic truth: The ability to control borders, to decide who does and does not come into a country, is central to a democracy. Without that ability, the citizens of a nation lose control over it.”Image
Image
“Less affluent voters have questioned the impact of mass migration for years, worried about its impact on housing, public services, wages and communities. The response of urban progressives…has often been to denounce working-class voters as narrow-minded or racist.” Image
“The left has de-emphasized class in favor of other characteristics and alienated many working-class voters.”

“The starting point for a new progressive future can be the idea of a community that provides security and opportunity, and to which we owe as much as we expect from it.”Image

In an interview, a Columbia protestor endorses violence, Oct. 7, and disruption.

This is someone who participated in the Butler Library occupation and was interviewed afterward.

They admit that their goal is to disrupt the university (i.e., not to exercise free speech): Image
This person also admits that the protestors used force to try to get out of the library: Image
A lesson they’ve learned is that they should be practicing “militant formations.” Image

🧵I attended a not-for-attribution call yesterday about the situation inside Columbia.

The key takeaway is that a lot of people, probably a majority, are done with the protestors and the corrupt faculty who support them. They want change.
People just want to get back to teaching and researching. They know the cancelled grants are gone for good, but they want to get back on track ASAP so they can apply for new federal grants.
It is not lost on them that the funding cuts have hurt the science and medical divisions when all the humanities (plus social work, etc.).
