COLUMBIA HEARS PLEA FOR EXPELLED STUDENT; Burke and Two Other Speakers Demand His Reinstatement at Gathering of 500.

Sept. 25, 1936

Three members of the American Student Union, including Robert Burke, who was expelled in June for leading the anti-Nazi demonstration last May, addressed a gathering of 500 students of the college and the various schools of Columbia University in front of Hamilton Hall yesterday noon, appealing to them to support the youth in his fight for reinstatement.

I don't like that university students went from debate club to protest clubs. that is honestly what they feel like and some of them just do it for clout. there is no accountability on the part of the true aggressors. all should have a right to represent their views and use their own voices. period.

yeah sorry I think I was cross-addressing the campus protest situation at Columbia and rambling about how I don't like when things get violent and acrimonious. somewhat unrelated.
