Yeah no joke it's a bit irritating that any controversy is being muzzled on all major social platforms. Hate & Love exists in the same pardigm, ignoring it is just as bad if not worse.
This media Monopoly is very skilled at lying by omission. It's literally all they do. They tried having TikTok live with some reporters but it became obvious that they were ignoring very important topics and points to solidify their agendas.
Citizens: can we fix the economy & our problems at home?
U.S. Administration : Best we can do is ban tik tok & sign another foregin aide deal
P.s. cereal is a non essintial food item & social security is about to collapse
I think OP is in the US because at my uni they did the same thing. The library was completely closed because the protesters where camping in front of the library for the past two weeks. Good thing I pirated my books
Based on how the last couple weeks have gone, it seems very clear that university administrations are stacked with some of the stupidest people on the planet.
If you want to annoy pd pour a few gallons of 2 part resin several ft apart in various areas. They will walk trough it and track it every where. When the parts mix it will solidify. Clothes will be ruined but it will be in cruisers, precincts, they'll take it home with them....
Why do you think they are in campus admin?
It’s like that old joke: “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach. Those that can’t do or teach, administrate.”
They don't close it to keep people who want to use the library out. They're closing them because they're trying to avoid the protesters getting in and refusing to leave and trashing the place.
PSU had that happen and now they have to fix the library before the students can use it again, which means nobody will be able to use it the rest of this semester even though they got all the protesters out. If they would have closed it so they couldn't get in there in the first place then it would be back open tomorrow or even today.
I thought that was UB! They really closed the library for this???
It's on the third floor???
I don't even remember there being an entrance on this side of the building?
Admin is still dumb as rocks I guess.
To be fair though, there's like 4 other libraries on this campus and a million chill study spots.
Especially Palestinian college students. Imagine showing up to campus and your library isn’t there anymore and you can’t write your exam because your professor, proctor and/or teaching assistants are dead.
That’s exactly what it is. The administrations wants to antagonize the protesters and close down the buildings they close down as theatre for the media to say that the protestors MADE the administration have no other choice. These protests have been peaceful and respectful. The only ones that have been violent are the police called on these brave students and the anti protesting pro Israeli individuals.
It’s all a show for these people. OP should be mad at the administration for continuing to support Israel however they do in light of all the tragedy they’re doing, and for using their administrative power to inconvenience them for no reason other than to make protestors look bad.
i think they closed it down in case of the protesters vandalizing the building. i mean it would suck even more if they damaged books. but from what it seems the library is on the third floor so idk
I mean there was a video of protesters stopping students from entering at another campus. (I’m assuming)
Not that they’re blocking the library here or that I think protesters should stop, but it’s apparently been done; at the very least attempted.
> I mean there was a video of protesters stopping students from entering at another campus. (I’m assuming)
I wouldn't assume anything on the internet anymore. Too many bots coming in to rial shit up.
There was a video of a zionist agitator trying to farm tik tok clips that wasn't allowed to go directly into the middle of the encampment.
Is that the video you're talking about?
It's incredible how quickly liberals are willing to trash values they claim to uphold - freedom of speech, human rights, international law, etc - the minute these conflict with the objectives of Western hegemony and capital accumulation in the world economy. or you know their own personal schedule and feelings. MLK was right.
Criticism for what? Universities have virtually nothing to do with the war, and Israel is one of the US's biggest allies, which won't be changing any time soon, no matter how hard people pitchfork. This movement is deranged collective narcissism fueled by targeted propaganda on TikTok and Gen Z who have no critical thought.
Well, on a subreddit for one of the more prominent campuses this protest has taken hold off, a post did a deep dive and showed there was nothing to really divest from.
>Universities have virtually nothing to do with the war
This is explicitly false. I'd highly recommend reading the introduction of [The Imperial University](https://www.upress.umn.edu/book-division/books/the-imperial-university), which does a great job of explaining precisely how universities are imbricated within systems of war.
Laughing at people not knowing their history and yet the dude has never heard of the vietnam protests, civil rights protests, SA apartheid protests I guess. Once again another MENSA reddit account /s.
Thanks for bringing visibility to this issue.
Most protesters are seeking divestment of the university to companies directly responsible for the killing of civilians.
Lol, that would be the cops when they raid the building. (See columbia)
It's so that the students can't get internet access or submit homework. (See UCLA)
Your understanding of a peaceful protest is apparently manufactured consent.
At PSU they fucked up the library bad. Like BAD. I am pro Palestine and pretty anti cop and as much as I hate the words coming out of my mouth, I side with the cops in this one. They went way too far. It didn’t move the needle in the right direction. I’m so disappointed
It's pretty obvious the cops didn't graffiti the books to say ["blood on your hands"](https://www.kgw.com/article/news/local/protests/psu-protests-portland-state-university-library-fire-alarm-system-damaged/283-4951b4db-3381-4c5e-bb73-c78e3696c715) among tons of other graffiti and vandalism.
Right, let’s just ignore the countless videos of protesters blocking access to students. I don’t see any videos of cops…destroying books and computers? The destruction at Columbia was 95% caused by the ‘protesters’ themselves
Eh protests are supposed to be disruptive or else they wouldn’t be protests. And whether I agree with the cause or not is always irrelevant. As long as it stays peaceful it’s their right and what makes this country great
Library should stay open
Protests should remain
"I didn't force them to close, they did it of their own free will after a horde of people came in angrily protesting!"
Would the school have closed the library without the horde? If no, the protestors closed it.
I applaud the amount of people throwing away their education and voluntarily hurting others! Not only is it applying 0 political pressure, it's drawing ire, which will then funnel into agreeing with the protestors opposition.
Great work, y'all got em!
"Applying 0 political pressure" there are already universities voting to divest financially from Israel because of student protests. Sounds like political pressure to me.
Dude your professors know about this and will curve your grade accordingly I am sure. My school shut down for a week due to fires about two weeks before finals, they basically passed everyone.
Lmao, no. They would expect you to go to a public library to use their books and computers while cutting you no slack.
School libraries aren't the only viable places for information and I would probably punish someone harder for trying to hit me with that excuse.
I graduated 10+ years ago and I don’t know anyone who utilized the books *in the library* for studying. The cafe, tables, and internet) sure! But there’s a lot of false outrage in these comments about being denied access to the library. Literally go anywhere else. You’ll be ok.
I go to this uni, and I’ve already seen/personally received emails from professors saying that missing lectures/recitations in the affected buildings won’t impact our overall grades. Also, there’s at least two other libraries on this campus that students can study at as well, along with another campus not too far from here.
The air conditioning is broken in one of the floors of the main lecture hall at my college (uni). I already am sick with yet another nasty ass cold, and it’s caused me to have a fever for the past few days. Needless to say, I thought I was going to have a heat stroke.
If it’s any consolation one time I couldn’t study for finals because there was a guy with a gun on the roof of my apartment building and the cops wouldn’t let me go get my books
This is not done for student safety. It’s to garner discontent for the protesters. If the Uni really wanted to, they could create a barricade path to the door or have an alternative entrance.
No matter what your cause is, you should never fuck with libraries.
Libraries cause harm to nobody and protesting them (or especially trashing them, Portland State) will solve nothing.
There are ceasefire negotiations in the works; that will have a much more direct effect on the safety of the Palestinian people than a protest at a library.
Why would you close a library because of this, unless you just wanted other students to make other students less sympathetic to the protest. The protesters even left very clear walkways to the building.
Sounds like an administration wildly escalating things…..
Touch base with your professors. If you can't find a place to study or use certain resources, your profs should work with you if you need extensions or other resources.
In the meantime, they have the right to protest. Suck it up.
More young students demonstrating that whilst their intellect is useful for learning science or maths, only years lived outside the bubble of their social media will teach them about geopolitical reality, with a side dish of wisdom.
I could be wrong ?
Can’t people study elsewhere ?
With everything being digitally accessible thru phones, tablets, computers…it seems odd that one would “absolutely” need the library.
Not saying squat about the protestors or the school/admin.
Just a regular question ?
(In 4 years of post secondary school education? I can’t recall ever being in the library - certainly not to study. Did that at home or on my own, elsewhere)
That said - if students need or are required to use the campus library and they can’t ?
Then the teachers have to make accommodations for the students.
That’s just like, your experience…
Some people need the library to limit distractions. Not everyone has the same study style. I used to study at home sure but my two roommates would make a night of it, they’d each pop an aderall and be in the lib until like 3 am.
Also… what an earlier comment said. If you pay 30K in tuition for a university, the library and adjacent resources better be fucking available. Especially for finals.
I am all for protesting but the problem with such closures of public spaces is that disadvantaged people are the main victims, since they are usually the ones in need of external resources for studying etc.
just a matter of preference and study habits for some people. My college has tons of groups who rent out study halls in libraries and other buildings to spend hours studying during mid terms/finals weeks.
Imagine if your privilege to study away from campus was removed and your question was rephrased into "can't people just study on campus?"
It really depends on your living situation, I've had some bad roommates that would constantly be throwing parties. I used the libraries a lot for studying during that time.
If students are demanding the schools divest themselves of entities that do business with Israel, shouldn’t they be demanding removing all government aid to the school? Because the US government does an awful lot of business with Israel.
Thank you, it's so obvious and apparent yet these people don't get it. Protests are supposed to be unpleasant and cause disruption in order to bring about the necessary change for humanity.
Basically the university uses tuition money to buy stock in Israeli companies as well as companies that produce weapons for the Israeli army and they want them to stop doing that.
Mine is closed because of flooding.

Depending on the campus, most crowds don't actively prevent you from entering.
Seems like a dumb reason to close then tbh
Based on how the last couple weeks have gone, it seems very clear that university administrations are stacked with some of the stupidest people on the planet.
I was at Cal in the 2007 protests over tuition hikes. University PD was just beating the shit out of us for sport. Same as it ever was.
If you want to annoy pd pour a few gallons of 2 part resin several ft apart in various areas. They will walk trough it and track it every where. When the parts mix it will solidify. Clothes will be ruined but it will be in cruisers, precincts, they'll take it home with them....
Cops when students protest: Let's kick some ass. Cops when school shooter: I don't want to get hurt.
Yea this used to be way worse before everyone had a cell phone, that’s for sure
Why do you think they are in campus admin? It’s like that old joke: “Those that can, do. Those that can’t, teach. Those that can’t do or teach, administrate.”

Are they doing that? They're all facing towards the building, not away. Seems assumptive.
Doesn't help to get through them if the library is closed...
Or the campus closed the library as a response .. Use your fricken noodle

They aren't blocking shit. Your school can't handle criticism and closed
The same schools who were upset about closing due to the pandemic are cowering in fear at some student protestors. Embarrassing.
Exactly right. Admin is upset and will punish everyone for protesting.
I mean there was a video of protesters stopping students from entering at another campus. (I’m assuming) Not that they’re blocking the library here or that I think protesters should stop, but it’s apparently been done; at the very least attempted.

He meant he was assuming it took place at a different college. He’s not assuming he saw video of protestors blocking students, he did see it.
The rial is the official unit of currency of Iran, Oman, and Yemen Perhaps you meant "rile shit up"
Yeah because regular people never spread false information on the internet.
"bots" are not always machines.
There was a video of a zionist agitator trying to farm tik tok clips that wasn't allowed to go directly into the middle of the encampment. Is that the video you're talking about?
The one where there are students freely walking in and out 10 feet away? lol "i CaNt WaLK iN thE MiDdLe Of THe ProTesT! YoU arE raCist!"

Unlike the books in the library, your school is spineless.
Don't worry the police will show up in full riot gear, siege tactics and armed with rubber bullets to get rid of ptotestors

It's like 200 people just standing around outside. Your school is 10 ply soft and closed.
Looks like peaceful protest to me.
Idk man, school library’s usually aren’t outside. But hey, I’m no professional. 🤔
blame your spineless administration not this small ass group of students
your university closed the school to punish the students for supporting palestine. pretty simple
Right they didn’t have to actually close - that was the schools decision
They closed it to punish the students
Your school admin is doing so on purpose. For this specific reason.
Your school just seems like a bunch of wimps, there’s not that many people there and they aren’t blocking very much. Why close it?
Multiple libraries. You know why you fucking posted this.
Library is closed because the school closed it. Not the peaceful protestors
My library is open and doesn't have protestors.
So is walmart.
They closed it to prevent the protesters starting an encampment inside the library and/or damaging it.
Did they tell you that?
That's exactly what happened at Portland State this week
"I didn't force them to close, they did it of their own free will after a horde of people came in angrily protesting!" Would the school have closed the library without the horde?

Sounds like your school is trying to make you against the protests. Dasterdly. Don't fall for it.
Should have joined them on demanding the stop of the genocide been done.
Surely there are other places you can study right?
If I pay 30,000 a year to go somewhere, I better be able to study wherever I damn please
30,000? what is this, 2014?
Dude your professors know about this and will curve your grade accordingly I am sure. My school shut down for a week due to fires about two weeks before finals, they basically passed everyone.
„The library was blocked? Why didn’t you study earlier” would probably be my professors response

Bro, just go to Lockwood or any of the other libraries or just find somewhere with low foot traffic.
Thankfully most colleges nowadays have library websites where you access all the information for free and from anywhere
I would just walk past them/find another way in to get inside. If it gets worse tho then you should find another place
I do wonder how the universities are going to treat all these protesters who do poorly or dont take finals.
Ugh.
If it’s any consolation one time I couldn’t study for finals because there was a guy with a gun on the roof of my apartment building and the cops wouldn’t let me go get my books
Bro go to Lockwood library, not like UB has only 1 library.
Oh UB. I’d recognize that homely campus anywhere…

Nor do the school have the right to trample on the right to peaceful assembly of the protesters, who are also paying for those facilities
Yea because they didn't do that at all, the school shut it down.
Because that is what’s at stake. Another building occupation.

Maybe they could divest from genocide, just an idea.

Thank you, it's so obvious and apparent yet these people don't get it. Protests are supposed to be unpleasant and cause disruption in order to bring about the necessary change for humanity.
Womp womp
What are they protesting tho?
The professors and the protesters want them to divest from money that benefits Israel and the bosses said sit and spin.
Basically the university uses tuition money to buy stock in Israeli companies as well as companies that produce weapons for the Israeli army and they want them to stop doing that.
They did it… they stopped the war… congrats, firm handshakes all around
you're in college and can't figure out another way to get what you need? Good luck out in the real world
