Consequences.
[TaxProfBlog] As pro-Paleostinian protests spread across university campuses, Sullivan & Cromwell’s senior chair said Wednesday the firm will be "more vigilant" in screening potential candidates. The firm is now outlining some of its vetting processes in that effort, including reviewing resumes, social media, news reports and student group affiliations and employing third-party specialists for background checks. ...

 conflict, taking the lead on efforts such as a group letter signed by dozens of law firm leaders sent to law school deans that maintained an "unequivocal stance" in opposition to antisemitism. Shenker was in his Jerusalem synagogue’s bomb shelter when the Hamas-led attack on Israel began on Oct. 7.

In a statement Wednesday, Sullivan & Cromwell said it will "review resumes for participation in pro-terrorist groups and other similar activities" as well as do a "thorough review of the candidate’s online presence, school website [and] news reports" moving forward.

It will also request "lists of all campus organizations the student has been or is currently a part of and monitor activities from those groups that do no align with our ethical standards," the firm said.

In addition, the firm said it will employ third-party specialists to do formal background checks.

#7  Do it, but don't say you're going to do it.
DoL will be after you for discriminatory hiring practices.

#6  Sullivan and Cromwell must be close to 150 years old by now. Cromwell was a lawyer who in the days leading up to the construction of the Panama Canal represented French interests and saw to it that the USA paid off France for initial work undertaken in creating a Panama Canal.

#4  ..their control over the finance industry to blackball Americans who exercise their political rights.

I don't believe it's 'them' who've been debanking Trump supporters and gun buyers for several years not. BTW, its not political rights when it destroys the civil rights of others.

#3  Glenn H. Reynolds: Protesters, colleges are about to find out that, yes, the law DOES apply to them, too

The union representing Columbia’s custodians is planning to sue over the university’s indifference and negligence regarding the safety of its members, who were trapped and made captives in the student seizure of Hamilton Hall.

...The union may be planning to sue the protesters, too, as it is working to gather security camera footage and the names of students arrested during the campus riots.

And that may be just the beginning.

George Washington University law professor John Banzhaf, who pioneered the class action litigation against tobacco companies, predicts that there will be more lawsuits against the protesters and their backers.

The feminazi mafia that runs modern "Western" universities are about to have their mental horizons expanded.

#2  It's de jure illegal to say that Jews control Americans. And now they're using their control over the finance industry to blackball Americans who exercise their political rights.

Normally I would say, imagine how quick a any Group, Business or Legal firm that is found to have hired such person(s) would have to close its doors.

But given this new generation of Mindless Smartphone Minions and LSD's Open Borders, which has allowed unchecked the influx of such hostile illegals. A Democrat controlled USA currently seems to be clearly headed in the direction of becoming the United Socialist States of America that supports Genocidal Racism against Jewish persons and Whites.
