Quote from: apl68 on May 10, 2024, 07:36:22 AMIt's not at all hard to see how a large institution could have a need for chaplains and associations to serve many different faith groups. And yes, the Jewish and Muslim groups have no doubt had a lot to do lately. As long as they're taking care of their people and not getting in each others' face.

For example, University of Florida loses non-profit status because random Dem congressperson complains to WH.
There are relevant measures within the framework of administrative law to deal with misuse of executive power. Non for profit status is given by administrative action and should be taken also. The idea that the IRS will need to go to court to strip 501(c)(3) status is ludicrous. I guess the ACLU director wants the IRS to spend more time and money to strip the status from those who abuse it.
QuoteThe students who orchestrated last week's takeover of Columbia University's Hamilton Hall left behind a series of charts, maps and supply lists that detail the extensive planning behind the brief occupation.
Photos shared exclusively with Gothamist reveal the protesters' hand-drawn schematics mapping out entire floors of the building, locations of supplies, doors they wanted to barricade, and the locations of water fountains and fire extinguishers.
A "task list" included to-dos like "set up pulley," "lock all windows," "security shifts," and "role [sic] call." A hand-drawn map of the building's third floor indicated that room 313 had been designated the "smoking room." Another list was titled "Heavy Equipment Locations" and noted rooms with "tons of books," "large tables," "tall ladder" and "portable podium/table." In all caps, the list also included the following note: "3rd floor windows in need of blockade."
