Business Owners Refuse to Hire Columbia Grads After Pro-Palestinian Protest
Newsweek ^ | 4-29-24 | Matthew Impelli

Some business owners are expressing opposition to hiring alumni from Columbia University amid ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at the Ivy League school in New York City.

In a post to X, formerly Twitter, Tom McClellan, the editor of The McClellan Market Report said that he will no longer be hiring "any recent graduate of Columbia, because that school is so tainted.

And I furthermore will not hire any older graduates either, because it has become evident that the academic rot is so deeply ingrained as to taint others who have come through that institution in the past several years," McClellan wrote.

Similarly, consultant Warren Kinsella said: "At the firm I founded 18 years ago, and in the war rooms I've run for the past 31 years, I've employed hundreds of young people. I'll never again hire one from @Columbia."

Damn straight.

I think I’d sooner hire a HBCU grad than an Ivy Leaguer.

That’s OK. There are incentives for that.

They should refuse ANY Columbia grads. Maybe the students would get PO’d enough to speak or act against the “PROpals”.

Wait, aren’t there Columbia students who are completely against this and fought against it? They should also be punished?

So incredible harm has been caused to Columbia Grads.

Great news.

No one held a gun to their head and forced them to go to Columbia.

This type of ban should be extended across the board to all Ivy League schools.

These protesters are not “pro Palestine”
They are anti Israel.

They can seek reparations from Columbia’s 10+ billion endowment.

“They should also be punished?”

Columbia and the other Ivys have been tainted long before this. No excuses. My wife wanted one of my daughters to go there, among some others, against my wishes. They rejected her app a month ago. It’s all good and I need to send them a ‘Thank You’ note (and a prayer to You-Know-Who) for allowing us to dodge that very expensive and worthless bullet.

Sorry, we need conservative students to go there, because like it or not graduates are influential. We have a minority of conservatives on the Supreme Court. The only reason there are any is because some conservatives went there. Like it or not, it will be disaster if some conservatives don’t go there.

“The Columbia students will get government jobs.”

Most people would be very surprised at the sheer number of Columbia graduates working at the State Department especially. Is it any wonder that our intelligence services and foreign policies are screwed up?

You can keep your Bushes, Cheneys, Haleys and the rest of the country club “conservative” fakes. They aren’t smart or strong enough to survive the brainwashing and blackmailing anyway.

I don't care about them. I care about the Scalias, the Thomases, the Alitos, the people you really hate.

By the way, you better not vote for Trump, he went to an Ivy.

Unfortunately, I bet that they all forget about it in a few weeks and start hiring from Columbia again.

He was also a Dem, so I might as well vote for Biden.
