Among other steps, #Columbia said it would have 36 campus safety officers w/ #arrest powers, a shift w/enormous resonance at a university that has a long history of campus #activism & fraught ties w/law enforcement.Columbia also said it would adopt a formal definition of #antisemitism, review its #admissions policies &, in a turn that was especially alarming to professors who cherish #academic #freedom, impose new #oversight of the university’s #MiddleEastern, #SouthAsian & #AfricanStudies Dept.

#Trump demands unprecedented control at #ColumbiaUniversity, alarming scholars and speech groups

NEW YORK (AP) — "The Trump administration brushed aside decades of precedent when it ordered Columbia University to oust the leadership of an academic department, a demand seen as a direct attack on academic freedom and a warning of what’s to come for other colleges facing federal scrutiny.

"Federal officials told the university it must immediately place its #MiddleEasternStudies, #SouthAsianStudies, and #AfricanStudies Department under 'academic receivership for a minimum of five years.' The demand was among several described as conditions for receiving federal funding, including $400 million already pulled over allegations of #antisemitism.

"Across #academia, it was seen as a stunning intrusion.

"'It’s an escalation of a kind that is unheard of,' said Joan Scott, a historian and member of the academic freedom committee of the American Association of University Professors [#AAUP]. 'Even during the #McCarthy period in the United States, this was not done.'"

Heute vor 110 Jahren hat die deutsche Kolonialjustiz Rudolf Manga Bell in der damaligen Hauptstadt der Kolonie Kamerun, Douala, ermordet. Manga Bell hatte in Deutschland Jura studiert und sich mit rechtlichen Mitteln gegen die von den Deutschen geplante Enteignung und Vertreibung der Duala gewehrt.

In Kamerun gilt Manga Bell bis heute als maßgeblicher Vorkämpfer des antikolonialen Widerstands. In Deutschland weiß kaum jemand von ihm. Er wurde 41 Jahre alt.

So this “two-state solution” is code for neocolonialism, right?

It would be helpful to clarify what the #Palestinians are really being offered as part of this much-lauded solution to the conflict in #Israel - #Palestine.
