Columbia Law students demand passing grades after protests. Blame coddling schools
NY Post
Columbia Law students want their final exams called off … in the name of Palestine.
In a recent letter, the student editors of the Columbia Law Review made a public call for the school to cancel the semester’s remaining exams and “give all students passing grades for their work throughout the semester.”
“We believe that canceling exams would be a proportionate response to the level of distress our peers have been feeling,” the unnamed students wrote in an open letter.
The plea comes after Columbia University, on April 30, authorized the NYPD to clear out trespassers who violently and forcibly took over the school’s Hamilton Hall (and smashed windows and trashed furniture while at it).
And yet these law students describe the police’s action as “violence” that “has irrevocably shaken many” of them and “the majority of our classmates.”
You’re telling me that the majority of Columbia Law students — who were admitted to a program with a 12% acceptance rate — are unable to do their work amidst political upheaval?
