Won't this set a bad precedent? Why not instead identify the student protestors who were arrested/beaten up by the police and give them some concession, like a delayed exam or take-home exam?
Lol. This is every idiot student who panics during exam time and tries to find some or the other reason to get them cancelled or get extensions.
When Gandhi protested British rule he went to jail for it. People who really believe in their cause are willing, even eager, to suffer consequences for their activism. The kids at columbia arent that. They dont understand or really believe in their own slogans- they just wanted to do social justice coachella and be rebels for a week- and now theyre upset when the adults they were calling murderers wont make concessions for them.
The police was called after protestors were told several times that it was an illegal emcampnet and they must evacuate. The police was called because a university building was taken over illegally by radical actors.
Criminals dont get to ask that the people they robbed should sponsor their bail.
