Im a professor & as of today, I quit my position as Artist-in-Residence Columbia University. Im an Assoc Prof at Hunter & in support of the courageous student protestors at Columbia, I cannot in good conscience be affiliated w an institution that arrests, intimidates, endangers, & censors students.
Until the students are reinstated, apologised to, and have their records expunged, I will no longer give lectures at Columbia or Barnard. I commit to donating the money I was awarded for the position to the charitable causes in Gaza as is the request of the students.
