COLUMBIA PROFESSOR HAS MIC CUT AFTER WARNING UNIVERSITY INFILTRATED BY ‘GROUPS
WHO ARE SUPPORTING TERRORISTS’ AT FACULTY MEETING

By Jon Levine

Published May 11, 2024, 11:22 a.m. ET

A Columbia professor was quickly shut down after warning her colleagues that the
Morningside Heights campus had been infiltrated by outsiders with “known ties to
terrorist organizations.”

Professor Carol Ewing Garber immediately had her mic muted after speaking out
about campus security at the May 3 Zoom meeting of the university’s faculty
senate — which was held hours after the school’s Hamilton Hall was overrun by a
mob of Hamas-supporting students.

“There really is a need for good security on campus and it was very clear . . .
that the university was unable to do that given the number of people from
outside who were able to pass through our tight security to get onto campus,”
Garber said. “We do know that there are groups who are supporting terrorists.”

Garber’s comment prompted pandemonium among the faculty Senate, video of the
meeting shows.

The senate is a “policy-making body which may consider all matters of
University-wide concern” but has little formal power in practice.

Jeanine D’Armiento, an associate dean for gender equity, shut off Garber’s mic
while asserting there was “no evidence” for her claim.

“There is danger in that statement,” said D’Armiento. “I am trying to take our
community a level down and that word is not going to do it. Maybe I broke the
rules . . . but I cannot allow that kind of thing in a time like this.”

As other senators objected to the forced mute, D’Armiento shouted them down.
“This is my meeting, my meeting, my meeting.”

Eventually D’Armiento allowed Garber, a professor of Movement Sciences and
Education in the Department of Biobehavioral Sciences at Teachers College, to
finished her remarks.

“It does need to be investigated and I think some of the groups, there is
evidence that there are groups who are influencing student groups on campus in
this country,” Garber said. “Many individuals feel afraid.”

Anti-Israel protesters have taken over Columbia in recent weeks, following
Hamas’ Oct 7 surprise attack on the country, which left at least 1,200 dead.

And last month, Columbia suspended four students for participating in a campus
event with Khaled Barakat, who called Hamas his “friends and brothers.”

Barakat has been accused of being a member of the Popular Front for the
Liberation of Palestine — a terrorist organization.

Mohammed el-Kurd, a radical Muslim activist and “Palestine correspondent” for
liberal outlet The Nation, was also spotted at the encampment, just weeks after
telling a British audience that Palestinians needed to “normalize massacres.”

El-Kurd later insisted he misspoke.

The fiery faculty senate meeting included public demands from some members that
the body take a vote of no confidence against Columbia President Minouche Shafik
for her decision to use police to clear out violent demonstrators from Hamilton
Hall.

The NYPD presence on campus was “militarized state fascism,” said Minhas Wasaya,
an MBA student.

Reached by phone Garber — who described herself as “left-leaning” — said
D’Armiento and the senate are generally a “monolith” and “hostile” to viewpoints
that stray from the program. She doubled down on her belief the campus had been
infiltrated by rogue actors.

“Students for Justice in Palestine is one of them, which had been a recognized
student group on campus at Columbia which has been dis-recognized, but they have
continued to be active on campus,” Garber told The Post.

D’Armiento defended her actions, telling The Post that “I wanted to take a pause
given the serious nature of these claims.”
