James Keivom Columbia University administrators seemed poised to take a brave stand against ongoing student protests Monday - and then totally wimped out, cowering in the face of student activists.
But student protesters - threatened with suspension if they failed to clear out on time - seemed dubious that the administration would really follow through. After all, there have already been multiple eviction deadlines that the school let pass without incident.
As the clock ticked ever closer to the deadline, I heard a student organizer on a megaphone vow that it will be "hard to disperse us" and declare: "We will not back down. We will not be moved unless by force."
