'We have begun suspending students as part of this next phase of our efforts to ensure safety on our campus,' says a university spokesperson

“We have begun suspending students as part of this next phase of our efforts to ensure safety on our campus,” said Ben Chang, a university spokesperson, at a briefing on Monday evening. Hundreds of demonstrators, many wearing traditional Palestinian keffiyeh scarves, marched in circles around the exterior of the encampment chanting, “Disclose! Divest! We will not stop, we will not rest.”Shafik faced an outcry from many students, faculty, and outside observers for summoning New York City police two weeks ago to dismantle the encampment.

Those protesting against Israel’s military offensive in Gaza have, in turn, asserted that their opposition to the Israeli government is being falsely equated with expressions of anti-Jewish hatred. Many Jewish students have themselves found common cause with the pro-Palestinian movement.

The Next Big Economic Risks for the WorldBloomberg recently published a piece on the big economic risks that are looming ahead for the world in the face of the war in Ukraine, soaring inflation, and rising prices of fuel and basic commodities. The write-up featured the thoughts of three market visionaries on “the next big risk” for the world in the next five to 10 years. Abby Joseph Cohen, ex-strategist for Goldman Sachs Group Inc. who is currently teaching at Columbia University, is worried about the shortage of labor and the inadequate skills development of students—young people who will be the world’s future scientists, doctors, engineers, and so on. Cohen believes it is important to invest in the future (in terms of research, training, education, etc.) and to take care of workers so that their families are more comfortable.
