Not in the immediate. But it would force a change in administration and governance and perhaps end the promotion of modern day blood libel as education.
Sorry. I fail to see how losing accreditation will bring the changes you expect. Realistically , there is no reason to believe Columbia will lose its accreditation. Are you familiar with the accreditation association? No chance. Just saber rattling and harassment by the Trump Administration.
And why would you expect the campus culture to change when many tenured faculty members contribute to it?
Change is needed and now the Trustees recognize it and bureaucrats in the administration are on notice. Bollinger warned about this in 2020 (?) but the will to change was absent.
The First Amendment does not give carte Blanche to destroy University property as happenings Butler and earlier last year in Hamilton and elsewhere. First Amendment rights allow protest not violation of University rules regarding protests. Columbia as a private institution can establish rules of behavior on campus. Protestors who feel compelled to violate these rules should expect to accept the consequences. This is not a First Amendment issue.
And what rights is Columbia trampling on? No one has the right to violate University rules with impunity. The First Amendment does not protect rule violations. Don’t like Columbia’s rules? So violate them but be willing to suffer the consequences. That’s what happens when you’re adult, my friend.
JP, clearly you did not read the Substack article or chose to believe your own alternative facts. Haters gonna hate. See how far that gets you , bro. And what, pray tell, have Columbia pro-Palestinian protesters have achieved for Palestinians in the Mideast. Not a thing.
Excellent essay. Sadly, probably no one who needs to listen to this message will do so. And these "protestors" are degrading the hell out of the value of a Columbia degree.
Perhaps losing accreditation is the only solution to begin the process of restructuring the whole institution.
How would losing accreditation influence the students to stop pretending that butter doesn’t melt in their mouths?

What you mean to end is the First Amendment. This is a reoccurring theme in the Zionist camp.
Not really, but terrorism is a recurring theme in the dirtbag pro-"Palestinian" movement.

A broken pane of glass and some erasable graffiti and removable tape hardly constitutes vandalism.
Compared to Columbia trampling on the rights of it’s students and surrounding community, it’s nothing.

If they do it’ll be the first time.
Everything they’ve done can be attributed to traditional civil disobedience, like the Boston Tea Party or Occupy Wall St.
Given what they’re protesting, genocide, I’d say they were civil to a fault.

You're a fucking idiot.
