Hizzoner addressed the cost to Big Apple taxpayers after cops were finally called in to help oust a destructive mob that had illegally taken over Columbia's Hamilton Hall academic building late Tuesday and to clear out an encampment on the school's iconic lawn.
"We believe that they, too, should contribute to the cost," the mayor told FOX5 when asked whether the Ivy League school should have to open its checkbook in the wake of the massive operation.
One way to prevent the costs from escalating is to have a zero tolerance. As soon as the tents go up, it comes down. Do not allow this to continue to expand.
I have to really commend Fordham University. I spoke with the president yesterday. She was very clear on not allowing this to escalate," Adams said.
