Question, because I honestly don’t know.
Can a university revoke an earned degree without proof of cheating?
I really hope they lose all of their students. It would be great for other universities to offer the students a solution to continue their education. I would really like to see some fantastically opposing fuckery.

This is the right’s ultimate goal. To force citizens to abide by their morality under fear of everything being taken away from you. They don’t give a fuck about freedom and never have.

I’ll almost certainly be downvoted, but just to add context as a Columbia student who has lived through most of this first hand:
The students they suspended/expelled/revoked didn’t just protest, but broke into buildings, assaulted public safety officers, and some even blatantly spewed anti-semitic rhetoric while assaulting Jewish students. It should also be noted that the organization that posted the top comment (CUAD) is an organization that has previously called for the complete elimination of the Israel state and has continually harassed students for just being Israeli or Jewish.
There’s protesting and then there’s hate, and it’s important to distinguish this.

The question here is were they expelled because they were tearing shit up and acting a general fool during the protests or just for being there? Seems like a very small amount based on the number of people that were there. There’s more to this story.

This seems to be a really poor move by the school. Unless there is some info we are missing here about what those 22 students did… this is going to strongly discourage high schoolers from going to that school. I can see tons of kids withdrawing their acceptance letters.
I’m really thinking there’s more to this story that caused the University to do this.

To add a little context:
I believe the Trump administration, through the acting director of the Federal department of education is making Columbia University’s public funding (hundreds of millions of dollars of funding) conditional on what they deem as correct behaviour which includes punishment of students. If I am remembering the facts correctly then that means while I don’t condone the university’s behaviour, it might help you understand WHY the university is behaving in this way as without federal funding, they are unlikely to be able to survive, so ultimately the fault is largely at the feet of the Trump administration instead of the university although i would hope the university’s sense of integrity would be larger then this.

If that uni can void a degree that easily, stands to reason their degrees aren’t worth much. Why go to a school and pay the GDP of a small nation for a degree that can be voided on a whim?
Sounds like the students should all transfer, stop applying… a university is a business: boycott and shut them down.

They should sue for time and damages emotional distress for them taking away their 1st ammendment rights. They are an institution sue the accrediting offices too. Demand your records.

If people can be admitted, or not, by writing about their activism, then the university degree is in part rewarding goodthink.
No surprise that once that’s accepted, the reverse also comes into play.
