Someone else had expressed the idea that since Columbia is enabling this behavior from students and faculty, that Trump is correct to cut off federal funding from the entire school until such time that they disallow open bigotry on campus - blocking Jewish students and faculty from getting to class, open harassment of Jewish students, etc. We would not tolerate this behavior if the target was black students, so why are we tolerating it here?
@Alison_Brennan (is there some kind of patent on tagging or is that just one more thing you can't do at substack). The negotiations with University Administration are perhaps the closest thing I've seen to a substantive notion that Khalil planned for or participated in civilly disobedient lawbreaking that abrogated the rights of others.
It was a good interview and the FIREman, to his credit, was careful to parse–holding out the possibility that an accusation of lawbreaking could be leveled. He is also right that the government should say so sooner than later. It should not appear that Khalil is threatened with deportation for vociferous enunciation of his beliefs. You'd think maybe Trump would be sensitive to the notion that passionate rhetoric should land you in the dock.
But I'm disappointed that the interview does not speak to what appear to be this widely reported evidence on Khalil's behavior, that is paraphrased in comments but I think deserves a more thorough going over.

100% accurate!
not sure about 100%, but generally agree.

Impossible to argue against your point. Thank you
