Again a short-sighted move to leave an Ivy for Michigan or USC. Granted those are both good schools, but Danny Wolf giving up a Yale education to play at Michigan is a dumb move in my opinion. Maybe he can make the NBA from either school, but attending Yale is such a rare opportunity for most students.

As a Yale alumnus, I always believed, like RedWin that attending Yale was "a rare opportunity." I would have hoped that Yale was "a rare opportunity" for Danny Wolf, as well.

The standard line is that Wolf is leaving for the NIL money and greater NBA exposure. I am certain that is true, but the anti-Israel and pro-Hamas protests at Yale may well be a contributing factor. Wolf is Jewish and played for the Israeli National Team this past summer, and I recall James Jones wearing a pro-Israel pin on his jacket for several games this year.

I am pleased to see that Yale is finally arranging to arrest some of the protesting occupiers on Beinecke Plaza. Hopefully, the embarrassing situation will improve.

The protests at probably every Ivy except Dartmouth will have an adverse effect on recruiting. How do you show a recruit around campus when it looks like the inmates have taken over the institution and gutless administrators will not take charge? The President of Dartmouth used to be the President at Barnard and appears to be doing a great job. Columbia should have elevated her instead of coming up with Shafik.

What's the solution here, friends? We have to balance free speech vs violence vs antisemitism. What has the Columbia President done wrong? She got rid of all the outside antagonists, those committing crimes including anti-semitic chants were removed/arrested and those who wanted to peacefully protest could remain but NOT on University public space. What did she do wrong, within legal limits?

Author: sparman [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 12:34:44 04/25/24 Thu I thought Wolf had entered the portal before the protests began, but maybe this is erroneous. There are similar protests occurring at U Michigan. https://www.michigandaily.com/news/administration/we-will-not-stop-until-we-get-full-divestment-umich-student-protesters-camp-out-on-diag-for-divestment/ [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

In response to Ghost, "free speech" involves a public gathering of informed folks to discuss certain issues. It is peaceful, does not include impeding the movements of fellow students, and it is limited to the time to needed to complete the discussions.

An encampment is an act of civil disobedience and is not "speech". In Yale's case, the encampment on Beinecke Plaza impedes other students, denies access to the primary student center, the Scharzman Center, and desecrates the memorial to Yale's fallen military veterans.

The occupiers of the encampment should have been given short notice (a few hours) and then arrested.

Author: Ghost [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14:49:47 04/25/24 Thu I believe that's what happened. Their encampment violated University space and therefore they were either removed or arrested. Handled correctly. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
