What government? Columbia is a private university. Thankfully, corporations don’t control absolutely 100% of the U.S. yet.

There has been a history of some states calling out the National Guard to put an end to campus protests in the past, the most notorious being Kent State in 1970.

Whether the school is public or private has nothing to do with it. However, despite it’s name, the National Guard is controlled by its State Governor unless explicitly federalized by the President. I don’t think the NY Governor is eager to step into that.

Kathy Hochul? She’s a shitty politician, I wouldn’t be surprised if she did call them in. I can only imagine Eric Adams is salivating at the idea of it too, he’s basically a moderate Republican in disguise.
