13 Federal Judges: We Won't Hire Columbia U Students...

[Darkwind]

Thirteen federal judges who have allegedly decided not to hire graduates from Columbia University's law school due to the school's handling of student protests and the treatment of a professor who was allegedly subjected to harassment.

The judges' decision was revealed in a letter written by a prominent lawyer and alumnus of Columbia Law School, who is also a former clerk for one of the judges. The letter, addressed to the school's dean, states that the judges will not hire Columbia law graduates until "serious consequences" are imposed on the students involved in the protests and "significant changes" are made in the faculty.

The protests in question occurred in April 2021, when a group of students disrupted a lecture by a conservative professor, Joshua Katz, who had been critical of the Black Lives Matter movement. The students reportedly shouted down Katz, called him a racist, and demanded that he be fired.

The letter from the alumnus alleges that the school's administration failed to take appropriate action in response to the protests, and instead "condoned the mob behavior." The letter also claims that the school's faculty has become increasingly biased and intolerant of conservative viewpoints.

The article notes that it is not uncommon for judges to consider the political climate and behavior of law schools when making hiring decisions, and that Columbia Law School has faced similar controversies in the past. The article also quotes a spokesperson for the school, who declined to comment on the specific allegations in the letter but stated that the school is committed to "fostering a learning environment that is open to a wide range of perspectives.

Ah, how appropriate that people responsible for fair and just treatment of the people resort to collective punishment.

I'd also stay away from Harvard medical school students




Dei is a plane wreck

It's train but I felt at this time plane was more appropriate

You argue against holding people accountable for their actions.

That's an interesting take.

In my opinion, they should have included Stanford in their disciplinary actions as well because of their treatment of an Appellate Court judge.

As a rule ... judges that graduate fro Columbia Law School hire Columbia Law School graduates ... likewise for all the other law schools ... you don't get a better education at an Ivy League School ... you only get to befriend the children of the wealthiest people in the world ... who then hire you for the best paying jobs in the world ...

We had Patti Davis' effigy burning when the police showed up ... pfft ... we ran ... kids today are soooo entitled ... Sacramento PD were headbusters back then ...

Are you claiming that every law student at Columbia has done something worth of these consequences?

 

[AMart]

They are "oppressors" lol.

The article provides answers to that question and how the 13 Judges intend to avoid that.

They are liberal activist, not fair and Balanced judges. Trump's trials are proof of that.

Law students at Columbia have an opportunity to denounce and disassociate from the Ham Ass mob. Make that clear to the Judges and Law Offices, then the legal community should not hold being part of Columbia against them.

It doesn’t. It demands the school do something and if they don’t, they just assume everyone is guilty.

James Ho and Elizabeth Branch are liberal activist judges?

Wouldn’t that be viewpoint discrimination?

Its not punishment... people don't want to work side by side with a terrorist....

If you are dumb enough to put on a Hamas scarf and chant death to America with cameras everywhere you are too stupid to hold a job anyway...

Every Columbia student has potentially been poisoned by that university's culture. Hiring good employees is already hard enough, so rolling the dice with those students is an unnecessary risk.

There’s no justice in collective punishment.

If an organization is considering hiring a person and sees them on social media espousing divisive views and / or participating in disruptive protests and decides not to hire them, is that not viewpoint discrimination? It’s practiced all the time. The irony here is that Judges are prepared to engage in it.

Private organizations can engage in viewpoint discrimination.

I don't think government can.

The one in New York, yes.
