Ivy League graduates tore up their degrees after the university caved to the Trump administration's demands to hold anti-Israel protesters accountable

Columbia University students and graduates gathered over the weekend to protest the school's recent acquiescence to the Trump administration's demands to combat antisemitism at the school, and the arrest of Mahmoud Khalil, a pro-Palestinian ringleader on campus. 

During the protests, several graduate students from the School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA) shredded their own diplomas.

I saw video of the students doing it. You can tell Columbia lowered their admissions standards to almost zero.

The Columbia Ragers. 

School of International and Public Affairs

"SIPA is not proud, we are enraged. We will continue to rage at this institution until Mahmoud Khalil is free."

Showing who they are. Supporting this POS that thinks Oct 7 was a good thing. I wonder if they condemned Oct 7? They ok with mass rape and brutality as long as it’s for a good cause? 

[supermike80 1,874]

yeah sure, and when they are looking for a job, I bet then they will show they graduated from there.  Bunch of stupid virtue signaling

Ripping up their transgender studies degree LOL

These people are stupid....why do they effect you? The closest the OP ever got to Columbia University was watching Ghostbusters.

Not that they’re aware, but the diploma is useless and just for hanging on your wall. If you’re trying to get a job, the employer is going to ask for your transcript sealed by the school.

In your first job after school. After that, your job experience takes precedence over any education that aren't particular certifications. 

Plus I'm sure these dufusses who are in their 50s and actually think it means something, I'm sure they have 5 copies of them in their files.  They are the only people on the earth who value them.

Some of them look like they graduated in the 1960’s.

I don't get how they think this is "big deal".  It's a worthless piece of paper.  

It's like a Packer Fan ripping up their "ownership" certificate.

[RLLD 4,182]

Given the product produced, that being these moronic people, those worthless papers should be torn up

Imagine being 40 pounds over weight in your 50s and still pretending to have some pride in yourself as a liberal going to a college campus and ripping up a copy of a diploma that no one cares about and thinking that is some strong statement.

This is performative theater. They can rip up their paper copies all they want. You can get a digital copy and print another, ask the admissions office for another copy or use the digital copy. On top of that I can ASSURE you none of these people will leave the fact they graduated from Colombia off their resumes. Just a bunch of liberals being babies.

What's funny about it is they think we don't know all this. They are so focking stupid.

It is a symbolic act, a concept that seems to be lost on some observers.

Correct.  Democrats have o substance, none, zero.

Their only "product" is opposing Trump  They offer nothing but performative outrage.  They are essentially useless.
