CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY JULY 30 AND 31 (AND WMAL)
COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY, THE SITE OF NUMEROUS ANTI-SEMETIC DEMONSTRATIONS AND HARASSMENT OF JEWISH STUDENTS, HAS AGREED TO A SETTLEMENT WITH THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION OF $221 MILLION. UCLA HAS AGREED TO A PAYMENT OF $6 MILLION. HARVARD REPORTEDLY IS IN NEGOTIATIONS OVER A SIMILAR SETTLEMENT.
I HOPE THE JEWISH STUDENTS GET MOST OF THE MONEY TO HELP PAY FOR THEIR TUITION AND THE PAIN THEY HAVE SUFFERED.
WILL MUSLIM AND OTHER ANTI-ISRAEL PROFESSORS, STOP TEACHING THE HATRED OF JEWS AND ISRAEL THAT PROMOTED OFTEN-VIOLENT INCIDENTS? IF NOT, THEN NOTHING WILL HAVE CHANGED.
THE PURPOSE OF UNIVERSITIES ONCE WAS TO GET A GOOD EDUCATION IN ESTABLISHED SUBJECTS. SINCE THE ANTI-VIETNAM WAR DEMONSTRATIONS, MANY HAVE BECOME HOTSPOTS FOR OTHER THINGS THAT DO NOTHING TO HELP GRADUATES GET JOBS AND BECOME RESPONSIBLE CITIZENS.
TUITIONS ARE AT AN ALL-TIME HIGH FOR MANY OF THESE SO-CALLED SCHOOLS OF HIGHER LEARNING, THANKS IN PART TO FEDERAL SUBSIDIES. THAT’S ANOTHER THING THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION IS LOOKING INTO. WHY DO SCHOOLS WITH SUCH LARGE ENDOWMENETS STILL GET FEDERAL GRANTS AND CHARGE HIGH TUITION? CLEARLY TAXPAYERS ARE NOT GETTING WHAT WE PAY FOR AND NEITHER ARE ESPECIALLY JEWISH STUDENTS. I’M CAL THOMAS.
