Columbia Students Not Allowed to Discuss Content of Amal Clooney’s Class
As we recently reported, George Clooney’s wife Amal Clooney is teaching a class at Columbia this spring. For some strange reason, students aren’t allowed to discuss what happens in the class.
The New York Times reported.
How Amal Clooney Took New York
At 10:30 a.m. on Monday, Amal Clooney walked into Classroom 103 in William and June Warren Hall at Columbia Law School. The human rights lawyer and wife of the actor George Clooney was dressed in a cream textured coat and floral Oscar de la Renta slingbacks and carried a tangerine bag the size of a large toaster.
She was by herself, far from the tangle of paparazzi who gather outside the Carlyle hotel, where the couple are staying while Mr. Clooney is in town making “Money Monster,” a film directed by Jodie Foster and co-starring Julia Roberts.
Ms. Clooney, 37, greeted a man preparing slides for the class in human rights for which she is a guest lecturer this spring. As she spoke, passers-by peeked at her through the sliver of glass in the door. If anyone had thoughts to share about Ms. Clooney, they weren’t talking.
“We are under strict orders not to discuss her or anything about her class,” said a student who declined to give her name. A representative from the law school politely asked a reporter to leave.
Comments
How would a university stop a student from speaking about what happened in class? That would be a clear violation of free speech and could result in a large suit. Sounds like Columbia is no longer a real university. What kind of boobs have been hired to run this place?
Everybody’s equal. Some people are more equal than others. If you can’t talk about what went on in class then you cannot learn material, you cannot search through what you have heard for accuracy and sense. Columbia, oh Columbia!
