WASHINGTON - eTradeWire -- Although President Trump has promised that "All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests," George Washington University [GWU] students are apparently (see video (https://x.com/GLNoronha/status/1902400553084244208)) engaging in an illegal protest which is blocking access to the GWU Hospital, including its emergency room.

During the lengthy, expensive, and highly embarrassing protest on its campus last year, not a single students was expelled.

Indeed, according to the U.S. House of Representatives Staff Report on Antisemitism

"Of the 22 students who faced disciplinary proceedings for the antisemitic GWU encampment, where mock trials called for the GWU president and other officials to be beheaded and hanged for not divesting from Israel, only one student was suspended. Despite numerous antisemitic conduct violations, GWU has suspended only one student and placed 16 on varying lengths of probation."

Very recently, climate protesters disrupted a talk that Bill Gates was giving at GWU shouting "Bill Gates is not a climate hero."

Although their faces are clearly shown so that they can be identified, it appears that none have been expelled or even suspended, says GWU's public interest law professor John Banzhaf.

Continuing its refusal to discipline students who engage in illegal protest puts its federal funding as risk, as Columbia University just found out.  But, unlike Columbia, GWU is not expelling any of its criminal student protestors.

Banzhaf says his university is at very high risk of a a fund cutoff for many reasons, including:

Also:
■ GWU received so much adverse publicity for its actions and inactions during and following the spring encampment
■ Trump staffers in D.C. are more likely to see, hear, and read about what happens at D.C. universities than elsewhere
■ because D.C. is a major media center, media are more likely to report on what happens here than elsewhere
■ it's easier to inspect books and records, and to interview people, in D.C. than at universities elsewhere
■ therefore, making an early example of GWU with a fund cutoff is likely to receive more publicity than colleges elsewhere
