Antisemitism

Latest comment: 28 days ago3 comments2 people in discussion

What is the source for this claim: "Several antisemitic incidents took place during the protests." in the lede? Antisemitic according to whom? Makeandtoss (talk) 12:22, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Based on the Allegations of antisemitism section it appears to be according to The Independent,[1] as well as Columbia’s President,[2] The NYT reference states "Columbia officials have previously said there have been several antisemitic incidents on campus", but this isn't doesn't appear to be related to the protests, so will update sources based on content wording. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 13:55, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Important to note that Columbia officials have a conflict of interest and their statements should not be said in WP voice; also I am sure there's at least on RS that gave their own assessment whether this was true or misleading. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:39, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The result of the move request was: moved. – robertsky (talk) 16:34, 8 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

2024 Columbia University pro-Palestinian campus occupation → 2024 Columbia University pro-Palestinian campus occupations – There have been three encampments established, as well as the occupation of Hamilton Hall, making four separate occupations in total. Should this article title be changed from occupation to occupations (ie plural) ? CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 14:37, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

I mean this doesn't seem controversial so no need for requested move, I would support.. Makeandtoss (talk) 15:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Support seems reasonable FortunateSons (talk) 17:17, 2 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The discussion above is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

If a third encampment has been established, should not this still be considered to be going on?

Columbia Antisemitism Panel

Latest comment: 5 days ago4 comments3 people in discussion

I've checked this article for information on the recent placement of three administrators on leave over antisemitic text messages during an antisemitism panel (New York Times). Given that placing deans on leave for conduct is rather serious, I think this and other articles relevant to Columbia University's responses to the encampments on their campus. ⸻PKMNLives — 🖛 Talk 05:06, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

The incident is unrelated to the 2024 Columbia University pro-Palestinian campus occupations. It may be appropriate for other wiki articles. Burrobert (talk) 12:47, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

maybe part of some aftermath section? User:Sawerchessread (talk) 16:13, 23 June 2024 (UTC)Reply

Afaict, the discussion at which these incidents occurred was not triggered by the campus occupations. There appears to be no connection. Burrobert (talk) 12:43, 24 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
