In recent months it has been maddening to watch as colleges and universities pander to mobs of radical, anti-Israel students who defend Hamas terrorists. Many schools, even in the Ivy League, have also tolerated disgusting displays of anti-Semitism.
Not at Pomona College in California, though.
Some of these students decided to invade a campus building where they didn’t belong, and the school president made it clear he wasn’t joking. He warned the students to leave and eventually suspended them and had them arrested.

California college president represses pro-Palestinian student protest: “Immediate suspension”
After a pro-Palestinian protest erupted at a California college on Friday, the president cracked down, saying students would be “subject to immediate suspension.”
President Gabrielle Starr of Pomona College in Claremont, California, addressed the campus community after she said a group of protesters refused to identify themselves to Campus Safety and Student Affairs staff and verbally harassed staff, using even an anti-Black racial slur when speaking to an administrator.
“All participants in today’s events on the SCC lawn or in Alexander Hall, who appear to be Pomona students, are subject to immediate suspension,” Starr wrote in a letter to students Friday evening.
“Students at other Claremont Colleges will be banned from the Pomona campus and subject to discipline on their own campuses. All individual participants who are not part of the Claremont Colleges community are immediately banned from campus,” Starr said.

When Pomona College students (and perhaps others) rushed into an administration building last night, President Gabi Starr told them they had 10 minutes to leave.
Then he suspended them and had them arrested.

Colleges and universities need to start standing up to these crowds of students, or the problem will only get worse.
