May 3, in-person in NYC and online: Join our Advocacy Director @SethAStern for a panel discussion on the press function as part of @knightcolumbia's #WorldPressFreedomDay symposium, "The Future of Press Freedom." 🗓️ Friday, 11 am ET, @CivicHall RSVP: knightcolumbia.org/events/the-fut…
And all of us, whether or not we share the politics of the protesters, should be alarmed by the precedent that is being established here—and about the ways in which this precedent might be exploited in the future. END knightcolumbia.org/content/knight…
Bringing back this report from 2021... accompanied by this headline from today. By authorizing swarms of DPS/LAPD officers to march onto campus in the name of "student safety," I question how USC can ever truly defend these actions in the interest of student safety & wellbeing.
Here's the letter that @knightcolumbia just sent to President Shafik about free speech at Columbia (with corrected URL) knightcolumbia.org/blog/knight-in…
Knight Institute Calls for Urgent “Course Correction” on Response to Student Protests at Columbia University. Letter to President Shafik raises concerns about university decisions and policies relating to #freespeech on campus. Read it here: knightcolumbia.org/blog/knight-in…
For everyone who is interested in Columbia but has not actually been to campus, it’s worth reading the student journalists who are reporting on this daily. columbiaspectator.com
"Israel champions itself as a democracy and a bastion of press freedom in the region. Its actions tell a very different story." nytimes.com/2024/04/17/opi…
In light of today's hearing, re-upping this piece with @glakier about the hypocrisy of members of congress yelling at universities to crack down on what is by and large protected expression theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
A really grim, dispiriting few days at Columbia. columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/1…
here at @USC where a considerable crowd has come out to protest against the cancellation of valedictorian asna tabassum’s speech
“So admin, what are you going to do?” the Spectator editorial board asks in criticism of Shafik’s handling of campus activism following her April 17 congressional hearing. “Suspend more students until your entire student population falls into line?” l8r.it/HBc2
Columbia Journalism School is committed to a free press. If you are a credentialed member of the media and have been denied access to campus, please send us a DM. We will facilitate access to campus.

May 3, in-person in NYC and online: Join our Advocacy Director @SethAStern for a panel discussion on the press function as part of @knightcolumbia's #WorldPressFreedomDay symposium, "The Future of Press Freedom." 🗓️ Friday, 11 am ET, @CivicHall RSVP: knightcolumbia.org/events/the-fut…
The Knight First Amendment Institute at Columbia condemned the “Widespread Deployment of Police Forces on University Campuses Nationwide” in a Thursday statement. l8r.it/EVmd
The situation @USC for the past two weeks has been a comedy of incompetence with tragic consequences. Yet, I'm so proud of my journalism and communication colleagues who drafted this full-throated defense of freedom of speech and freedom of the press. docs.google.com/document/d/1i3…
Political leaders and others demanding a militarized response to peaceful protest should consider more carefully the possible consequences of their demands. (3/x)
Of course in some instances it may be necessary for universities to involve law enforcement where criminal conduct is at issue, but bringing armed officers into conflict with peaceful protesters creates situations that can escalate quickly and unpredictably. (2/x)
The large-scale deployment of armed officers to suppress peaceful protest on college campuses around the country is a shocking development. This response to peaceful protest is an assault on free speech–and it is also deeply reckless. (1/x)
This reflection on USC’s decision to cancel Asna Tabassum’s valedictorian speech is very good and worth reading. By my friend @JonCohenNYC, one of Asna’s advisors. forward.com/opinion/606655…
Letter I just sent to @USC Provost Guzman & @PresidentFolt.
Knight Institute Condemns Widespread Deployment of Police Forces on University Campuses Nationwide: “An assault on free speech” and “deeply reckless,” Institute says. Full statement at the link. knightcolumbia.org/content/knight…
USC was worried that a two minute speech was going to ruin commencement but clearly they are capable of ruining commencement—and reputation—all on their own.
Today in @thenation we have a piece by Lujayn, a 14-year-old girl in Gaza, that has floored me every time I've read it. It's about what happened when an Israeli bulldozer came to destroy the house she was staying in, and you must, must, must read it. thenation.com/article/world/…
At least 35 arrests at @USC; LAPD sitting students down on rows of chairs
After the police left, the students reclaimed their campus and gathered together for the planned peaceful teach-in. The massive police presence and arrest of dozens of students was so unnecessary.
Students form a human chain as LAPD circle them
The crackdown on free speech at @USC is about cops & donors. Erroll Southers, a cop to the bone, was elevated to the position of associate senior vice president in the central administration and has had a baleful impact. Donors also undermine our students’ free speech.
