I witnessed Columbia University’s embarrassing surrender to a mob

Columbia University has proven itself to be politically impotent and bureaucratically inept as it allowed itself to be held hostage by a mob of protesters who have called the university's bluff at every stage, writes Luke Seminara.A couple students I know closely attempted to block the protesters from breaking into Hamilton, an audacious last stand that ended with them being shoved, grabbed, and later threatened anonymously.

Since the beginning of the South Lawn “liberated zone,” Columbia has outsourced border control to third-party contractors like Allied Universal and Apex Security.As it turns out, if you report suspicious behavior to them, they’ll tell you to find someone else. Though Public Safety initially denied the break-in, students inside knew better and were panicking on social media.

Over the past few weeks, Columbia has proven itself to be politically impotent and bureaucratically inept, utterly incapable of resolute decision-making.
