13 Federal Judges Announce Boycott of Hiring Law Clerks from Columbia University, Citing Rampant Antisemitism and Campus Disruptions​

By Jim Hᴏft May. 6, 2024 2:20 pm

The judges highlighted three main steps that Columbia should undertake to reclaim its reputation:

  1. Serious Consequences for Students and Faculty: The letter demands that students and faculty involved in disruptions and violations of campus rules face significant consequences, including expulsion or termination. “Elite universities purport to train not just law-abiding citizens but future leaders,” the letter states. It also calls for identifying students who engage in such conduct so future employers can avoid hiring them.
  2. Neutrality and Nondiscrimination: The letter criticizes Columbia for applying “double standards” regarding free speech and student misconduct, emphasizing that “speech is not violence, and violence is not speech.”
  3. Viewpoint Diversity in Faculty and Administration: The judges argue that ideological homogeneity across Columbia has destroyed its ability to train future leaders. They call for significant changes in the composition of Columbia’s faculty and administration to restore confidence in the university.

Well, I’m no lawyer, but if these judges are not part of some private judiciary it would seem that a student, if they had an application for employment denied by any of these judges, could easily show that this is the government infringing on their first amendment rights. IDK though. 🤷‍♀️. Never a good lawyer around here when ya need one.
