🧵Columbia's grad students are on the verge of striking. But it's not about money—it's about control over Columbia. Among their "contract" demands: BDS / divestment from Israel, prohibiting campus police from ever using force, amnesty for expelled students who occupied Hamilton Hall, and more.

Union leaders also want Columbia to end the Tel Aviv University dual degree program and block the opening of a Tel Aviv global center. They want CU to dismantle security cameras and become a sanctuary campus. Keep in mind, the union is demanding all this in a LABOR CONTRACT. 2/n
