Those schools are all going to regret this, when fewer new students sign up in coming years. Most young people are pro Palestine, and they won't want to attend these schools

UCLA seems to be doing well with their hands-off approach.

Good luck to those students trying to find a job then. Those free Palestine boards they're waving around aren't going to fill in the education gap on your CV.

I respect the students for choosing ethics over money

19 out of 20 applicants are rejected by Columbia. I think they'll be fine.

First you villainise protesters
Then you do nothing
Then you crack down
Then you pass laws restricting protest
Then you pass other draconian laws
Then you restrict voting access
#Justconservativethings!

And the people will thank you

Or if you're a liberal you do all those same things (except maybe restricting voting access), and then years later you pretend you were on the protesters' side all along.

Record low unemployment certainly will help.

That, and some business owners may actually sympathize or empathize with the student protesters more.

Worth noting: this was a protest of 300 students on a campus of 36k when cops were called on to break it up. In calling the NYPD, Columbia made itself the face of a national controversy while, say, Northwestern negotiated with its protestors and you've heard basically zilch about it.

It's an utter failure by the University's president, who cowed to bad-faith questions from some of Congress' most noxious Republicans.

Public vs Private

Unless they start interfering with operations I dont think they can really do anything

I believe we call this a false dichotomy. Dont worry though, its a complicated concept so not everyone can get it.
