That'll teach them not to protest genocide...we're the good guys, right?

"Genocide is acceptable if the population to be eliminated occupies land that the President covets, and wants to use to build luxury condos, hotels, resorts, and golf courses. Development is more important than poor people."

If all our schools and businesses could not be direct extensions of the federal government that would be great.

You're suggesting a system of anything less than fascism and that's not going to work for this administration. Please report to the nearest ICE center for deportation.

All the conservatives who cried about snowflakes and safe spaces now have safe spaces for their snowflake politics.

It's not just Berkeley, it's the whole UC system. Berkeley just actually notified the students/staff about it

UC berkeley leadership needs to be removed and prosecuted. They are not up to the job.

Prosecuted for what? I agree they should be removed from all positions and we shouldn't cede Berkley any respect like we shouldn't with Columbia University but prosecuting them requires laws to have been broken.

they were just following orders!!

You cannot hold someone legally accountable if no laws were broken.

prosecuted for disclosing students and faculty information on what is free speech. No one is legally required to take a political position thats favorable to zionists or jews. Thats been the elephant in the room this whole time. In shipping that info they abetted in a legally unsanctioned activity.

Find me the law they broke. I don't believe they broke any laws and only committed ethics violations.
kreskin@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 329d
I wouldnt place any bets that they "violated no laws".

Nothing you listed is a law they broke though. Berkley isnt obligated to provide or protect your free speech as an emloyee.
Berkley did not investigate anyone’s homes.
Berkley did not break any law.

After that last comment I went and read a few of your other comments. Who am I to disagree with a guy with your opinions on batman and the duke nukem forever video game. I bow to your compelling 'nu-uh' argument and will pursue it no farther with you.
You have yourself a nice day.
QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works · -1 pts · 328d
For me to have a more compelling argument you actually would have to present a law they broke. You did not provide any evidence that they broke any laws so nuh-uh is the best you can get because you cannot support your own claims.

Harvard, Columbia, Princeton, and Berkeley.
Do you think they're the same investigations at Liberty, Brigham Young, Grand Canyon, and Baylor?

wait til these UCs/universities start bitching about low enrollment due to this, among other things like "job prospects". the STATE uni in cali have temporarily put a bandaid on thier enrollment issues.
besselj@lemmy.ca · 9 pts · 331d
They're already struggling because very few international students feel safe in the US now. Much of the research at the UCs is performed by international students.

at least for the state uni, it was before he got elected. last i heard the states uni put a bandage, by giving hs students early admission if they do x"classes to meet criteria". its a symptom of a larger problem in the long run, yea trump just added more insult to injury. and because of covid, early on people were pissed they dint even get a proper education from the universitiy.

Why are we allowed to be anti-anything except antisemitic?
Why do Jews get special treatment over everyone else?
You can be anti-gay, anti-women, anti-black, but as soon as you're antisemitic, then there's a problem that the government needs to correct.
aquovie@lemmy.cafe · 9 pts · 331d
If you think this is actually about antisemitism, you're crazy. It's about attacking and weakening left leaning universities, which are seen as a real threat to MAGA (grads loyal to alma mater, lawyers, respected institutions, etc). Throwing a bone to fellow authoritarians like Netanyahu is a huge bonus.

Israel does not represent jewish people, let alone semites, of which arabs also are.
Parroting that transparent ad hominem removes any credibility to your points. Willing to bow to bullying or actually believing it.
