This is unprecedented. Brown University strikes a deal with its students to end their peaceful protest & encampment, in exchange for a formal divestment vote from Israeli interests. And no student will be punished for protesting. This is democracy at work.

@QasimRashid Cornell faculty members have become involved with the protest, with some delivering speeches and canceling their lectures. Professors have also played a role in providing more active support for protestors, engaging in discussions with the administration, giving demonstrators supplies and participating in the encampment.

@QasimRashid How is that democracy? When a small group demands policy changes and stages a sit-in to get it? Negotiating, yes, democracy no.

Dialogue over aggression
Intellect over muscle

At least one institution with common sense.

Finally some good news

@QasimRashid It is nice to see leadership from Brown. I am sorry to say that my Alma Mater, Columbia, failed the leadership test. And I told Minouche Shafik, she failed, in a couple emails.

@QasimRashid they only control about 10% of their endowment.

@QasimRashid but... But... The cops don't get to punch anyone or buy more riot gear? Who will think of their needs?

@mrcompletely @QasimRashid I think the cops involved need 5.5 grains of pain relief straight to the brainpan.

@QasimRashid Yes! It's also a 'teachable moment' for other college admins.
