to be on that campus, columbia, god love columbia but it's the size of this room. and so if there are protests, they're everywhere. it's not just on one part of campus and you can go to the other side to listen to the kinds of dialogue that there's been and the whole question as to whether it's anti-semitic, etc., where do you draw the line. learning that there's going to be some of that and there's a meaning of free speech, then jewish students have to get used to hearing a certain amount of that sort of thing within certain parameters. that's not something i think college students have had a that rapid a lesson about in a long time if ever, and it's something i have to think a lot about. my position has always been if anybody on a campus said "d.e.i. has got to die," two times, much less for a half-hour, they'd be sent somewhere else. that relates to law school profess professor amy wachs. how much invective are groups exped to listen to in the name of free speech? though the atmosphere at columbia was acrid to say the least, i think there's been almost, think of

i would say maybe this is because i'm at columbia other columbia professors would sayul differently. a couple date in the article. i don't know it's any different in that usage of language say 2008 when i was there. certainly among some students there is a sense using certain words is politics. i revert noticing that before 201310 thinking lorraine hansberry and martin luther king would not recognize this. this is a new way of fusing a language not harmful but a new way. definitely, josh i can say this. 2009 if i had a bright student and they wanted to know. i would tell them it's me imitating in his book the proper book to read is this and then you can read the book. i would tell students though not in that tone of voice the book you want to risk here is on my shelf go read that, go read that. that does w not work with any bt a sliver now. not tiktok but reading articles in fits of things is the way they get their information and y would rather get it to the ear. you want to watch somebody talking about because there's so much online now of people talking knowledge for a lot of them

this is at columbia university in new york, a. what of protestors they have been telling you well, you certainly can see it right now david, but this was a much, much for campus this morning that maybe you can hear some of the workers behind the dismantling. some of the parent barricades at the university has put up to make sure that the 2 groups of protesters were at a safe distance from each other. i had a chance to speak to both the pro palestinian students here on campus. and also those were commemorating the october 7th attack on israel. on the palestinian side, i would say there was a lot of fear among the students also fear from the media. it was actually quite a challenge to get somebody to speak to us on the record and give us their name because there is that impression that their narrative and their story is twisted in mainstream media. they also had a lot of severe from docs and from being identified. and then uh, you know, being either disappoint leader by the university. or you know, that this could affect their caree

resilience and hope have been on full dplay everywhere we have gone, including here in columbia county. we are grateful for those incrible people all over this state. we are also mindful that every moment of every day since the storm passed, of the loss of life and devastation that brought. we knew it was going to be bad, which is why we prepared early just like they did here in columbia county. i declared a state of emergency two days ahead of the storm, which gave us time to mobilize and prepare for the worst. and i am so glad that we did, because it impacted literary every part of our state. many communities have been scarred with major infrastructure damage, and at one point at least 1.3 million power meters were not functional, and manmore georgians were without power. that number incredibly is down to 225,000 as wepeak. in atlanta we saw a record rainfall, with 11.12" of rain in the 48 hour periods. the previous sta record goes back to 1886, when we had 9.6 inches. as many people around the country no, we are an agricultural state, with agriculture serving as our number one indus

and this is something we have watched -- >> columbia.t -- you tried to help >> i have. so at columbia, a lot of us, you know, are there because we take pride in a tradition of political engagement it has been a relatively political campus and that has gotten ugly at certain points in the past the vietnam war, but it also had some great results like it helped, you know, fuel the antiapartheid movement, columbia was one of the first campuses and it spread and that's one of the reasons that mandela got released, this campus protest across the world a lot of us are proud at first but it clearly ma etastasized ia direction that nobody was learning from. an activism that became acrimony and the group started as expressions of solidarity for different groups of civilians in the middle east. and a few months later, the groups thought each other were the problem, attacking each other. and so, why -- why at columbia did it go this way other universities -- my wife went to rutgers. at rutgers, things ended very constructively the president, he welc

my name is amber on guard, and i'm a student activist at columbia university. my family moved to the west bank. when i was 13 years old, there was a very different environment in california. my process for reevaluating my own movies was a gradual one, but truly i would say the marks for turn when trump moved the end to see fatality tourism was the berries pivotal turning point for me. as i was able to see what was effectively a peaceful protest met with a tremendous amount of violet. prob, it's rarely, if you're ready for it, i was unwilling, we dropped it into the idea in 2020, i contacted the objected. so we'd up to the 2021 is our gaza war. i spent 4 months over the course of uh, a for marshals and 6 imprisonment in military detention in the wake of october 7th, i honestly remember very little. i was pulling my family every day and i was trying to live in my re also realized their fuel, like a place for me. i've been to the organize on campus with the language that i want the message that i wanted to, but i participate in the cabinet last spring. despite not

i remember at columbia as an undergraduate we we have faculty members who would come in periodically and declare their political positions in the first lecture and tell you this is where they were coming from, but you were to ignore it during the course of the rest of the semester, which sometimes was a little hard. at least they put their cards on the table and that would allow for the debate to proceed for the rest of the semester. i think it's a little tough, though, if you have a faculty member who takes a strong position, students are likely to comply. i think it is not only a question of the president holding their political positions or their points of view, but faculty members in order to induce more conversation in the classroom need to try and maintain a certain amount of balance to allow that to transpire. it is a sad thing in many surveys we do how often we see a very large percentage creeping up toward 50%, and this of course is self identification, say they feel that they have to agree with the professor to get a good grade. that is a disgrace. ms. jarvis, you had your
