But not before Garber was able to say, \u201cand we do know that there are groups who are supporting terrorists,\u201d according to coverage of the incident by the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2024\/05\/11\/us-news\/columbia-faculty-senator-warns-campus-had-been-infiltrate-by-terrorist-organizations\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Instead of addressing these serious allegations, D\u2019Armiento responded by silencing Garber, muted her microphone, dismissed her concerns, and claimed they \u201chave no evidence\u201d of what Garber said.<\/p>\n<p>The Senate meeting then descended into chaos, reflecting deep divisions within the faculty about the handling of such sensitive issues, as other faculty members came to Garber\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/university-florida-puts-columbia-shame-perfect-statement-arresting-agitators-not-daycare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\">\n<p>Should Israel level Rafah to ensure that all Hamas terrorists have been killed?<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>Mind you, these groups that Garber was referring to, beyond their political impact, are known for practices that violently oppress women\u2014actions that should naturally concern anyone dedicated to gender equity.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, when Garber attempted to bring these <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/mich-secy-of-state-candidate-gets-trump-endorsement\/\" title=\"Mich. secy. of state candidate gets Trump endorsement\">legitimate security concerns<\/a> to light, D\u2019Armiento interrupted and muted her, dismissing these concerns due to an alleged lack of evidence and deemed the discussion \u201cunfair.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Moments after D\u2019Armiento was shut down by fellow faculty, Garber was able to emphasize the need for a thorough investigation into these groups and to, once again, factually point out that \u201cthere is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/elon-musk-sets-sights-groups-backed-soros-clinton-operatives-investigate\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evidence<\/a> that there are groups who are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/follow-money-clear-paper-trail-found-paid-anti-israel-agitators-us-college-campuses-soros-foundation\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">influencing student groups<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/revealed-pro-hamas-billionaires-funding-pro-gaza-campus-rioters\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">campus<\/a> in this country\u2026 to behave in certain ways. And there is evidence about those things\u2026 And many individuals feel afraid because of that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>D\u2019Armiento\u2019s response to silence Garber not only raises questions about the role and effectiveness of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion positions but also starkly highlights the contradictions inherent in a gender equity dean dismissing concerns about groups known for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/who-report-shows-almost-1-in-3-women-experienced-violence-even-before-pandemic\/\" title=\"WHO Report Shows Almost 1 in 3 Women Experienced Violence Even Before Pandemic\">gender-based violence<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>This could potentially make her the absolutely worst \u201cDean of Gender Equality\u201d in the history of education.<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, D\u2019Armiento\u2019s management of the meeting, where she repeatedly asserted \u201cthis is my meeting,\u201d only added to the tumult, displaying a troubling approach to governance and dialogue within the university.<\/p>\n<p>This event has ignited a broader discussion on campus about the actions of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/broadcasting-company-memo-leaks-instructions-for-journalists-who-are-covering-hamas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">anti-Israel<\/a> protesters and the response of the university\u2019s administration, which has been seen as feeble and not doing nearly enough.<\/p>\n<p>In fact, Columbia University groveled to the woke mob and even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/columbia-caves-mob-cancels-main-graduation-ceremony\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">canceled<\/a> its main commencement ceremony, scheduled for May 15 in New York City, due to security concerns amid ongoing anti-Israel protests.<\/p>\n<p>The atmosphere at Columbia remains both charged and toxic, as evidenced by subsequent events, including a controversial campus appearance by individuals linked to the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine \u2014 a group widely recognized as a terrorist organization.<\/p>\n<p>These developments have only intensified the scrutiny on Columbia\u2019s handling of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/confusion-anger-abound-empire-state-building-lights-honor-muslim-country-known-terror-tentacles\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">security<\/a> and ideological conflicts on campus.<\/p>\n<p>The Zoom incident also underscores the critical need for DEI roles to not only enforce policies but to do so in a manner that genuinely upholds the values of equity and justice they are meant to champion.<\/p>\n<p>With her comments, D\u2019Armiento revealed the truth about DEI positions like hers \u2014 they exist not to help minorities but to rigidly enforce whatever the latest leftist orthodoxy or shibboleth happens to be. After all, a genuine advocate for gender equality would not dismiss concerns about entities that perpetuate severe human rights abuses.<\/p>\n<p>And they certainly wouldn\u2019t run interference for those supporting roving packs of sexual abusers (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/outrageous-pic-hamas-terrorists-parading-shani-louks-body-wins-big-award\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">or worse<\/a>) and silence such a debate.<\/p>\n<p>The Western Journal has asked D\u2019Armiento if she believes running interference for those supporting what amounts to violent rape gang, among other things, on Oct. 7 promotes gender equality. As of publication, she has not responded to our question.<\/p>\n<p>To think, this is what tuition dollars are going to support: a \u201cDean of Gender Equality\u201d who runs interference for terrorists who brutally <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/jeopardy-host-big-bang-theory-actress-slams-progressive-feminists-silence-hamas-atrocities\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tortured women<\/a> on Oct. 7 and afterward.<\/p>\n<p>The irony of a gender equality dean, tasked with protecting the vulnerable, potentially disregarding the implications of hosting groups on campus that have been infiltrated by entities with oppressive ideologies towards women, should prompt a reevaluation of how DEI initiatives are implemented and perceived in academic settings.<\/p>\n<p>If this pattern of neglect and complicity continues unchecked, America must confront a stark reality: The very institutions meant to foster a just and safe environment are failing in their duty.<\/p>\n<p>Should this persist, unchecked by rigorous oversight and genuine commitment to upholding the principles of equity and justice, the consequences could prove dire for the safety and moral integrity of not just universities, but the nation itself.<\/p>\n<p>The peril of these oversights and explicit interference lies not just in the immediate threats they present, but in the insidious decay of our nation\u2019s foundational values, putting America\u2019s future in grave danger for generations to come.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<div>\n<p><b><i>A Note from Our Deputy Managing Editor:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><i><span>\u201cWe don\u2019t even know if an election will be held in 2024.\u201d Those 12 words have been stuck in my head since I first read them. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><i><span>Former Lt.
