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:

LMAO, indeed.

@elianayjohnson and @aaronsibarium report that the Dean of Columbia College has put three deans on leave for text messages mocking concerns about antisemitism.

Then, as he tries to distance himself from the affair, they release more evidence of his involvement.

I wrote about the aims of the student intifada.

In short, it is full of radical revolutionaries who want to destroy Israel, eradicate Zionism, and fundamentally change America.

And they view our universities as targets they can use to advance their radical political goals.

The WSJ set up a bunch of new Instagram accounts, set the age at 13, and within 3 minutes they were watching content made by “adult sex-content creators.”

Meta’s response? “This was an artificial experiment that doesn’t match the reality of how teens use Instagram.” Image
“Instagram served a mix of videos that, from the start, included moderately racy content such as women dancing seductively or posing in positions that emphasized their breasts. When the accounts skipped past other clips but watched those racy videos to completion, Reels recommended edgier content.”
“Adult sex-content creators began appearing in the feeds in as little as three minutes. After less than 20 minutes watching Reels, the test accounts’ feeds were dominated by promotions for such creators, some offering to send nude photos to users who engaged with their posts.”

NEW: 100 law school deans, including the deans of Stanford, Columbia, and Yale, have signed a letter defending democracy and rule of law.

They say students should be taught to:

-“uphold the highest standards of professionalism.”

-“disagree respectfully and to engage across partisan and ideological divides.”

-“support and defend the Constitution and the rule of law.”Image
Link to the letter with all the signatories: americanbar.org/content/dam/ab…
In the press release, ABA President Mary Smith mentions “autocrats and dictators” threatening democracy “at home and around the globe,” but she doesn’t say anything about intolerance and ignorance on elite American law school campuses: Image

Nicholas Kristof:

“The West Coast’s central problem is not so much that it’s unserious as that it’s infected with an ideological purity that is focused more on intentions than on oversight and outcomes.” Image
“We are more likely to believe that ‘housing is a human right’ than conservatives in Florida or Texas, but less likely to actually get people housed. We accept a yawning gulf between our values and our outcomes.”
“Politics always is part theater, but out West too often we settle for being performative rather than substantive.

“For example, as a gesture to support trans kids, Oregon took money from the tight education budget to put tampons in boys’ restrooms in elementary schools — including boys’ restrooms in kindergartens.”
