Is anyone following arrests and suspensions at Columbia and Barnard? Shafik is usually the focus but worth noting that Barnard Pres Rosenbury is responsible for the majority of student suspensions. As of now, roughly 2% of the Barnard student body has been suspended without investigation or hearing.
