#1 The total turnout is much higher than 11% of Columbus undergrads. Closer to 30%.

Extremely high, actually, for a referendum that has nothing to do with typical undergraduate concerns like beer, sex, getting into medical school etc

#2 The total turnout is much higher than 11% of Columbus undergrads.

Whoops! You are absolutely correct, Omurt Sinatra7796. I looked at the number as the whole instead of only part of the total number of voters.

#3 Come 11/3 and 1/20 these referenda could outline official US government policy of a Harris/Biden administration.

Don't get cocky.

#6 *Heh* Student governments, as well as their Model UN's, love to cast these symbolic votes. If they try to vote on something the university administration wants they get bought off (individually) or stepped on hard.

#9 Dear federal government, please do not defund Columbia because our faculty and students are ignorant, posturing fools.

FIFY

#10 #8 Wasn't "if they win" implicit in your remark?

#11 This time they'll probably come for the Christians before they come for the Jews.

#12 Columbia Heil! Butt-hurt minion
Says kaddish for buried opinion,
Sees Jews overstepping;
In protest, starts schlepping
Round campus a pet Palestinian.
