The strike will be limited, however; the Columbia Spectator reports the potential strikers still will “do work that directly serves students.”

This means professors won’t “withhold grades, recommendation letters, or other ‘student-serving’ work.”

Those planning to strike said in a Friday press release that the NYPD “has created an unsafe work environment,” most especially for members of minority communities “who are disproportionately profiled by police.”
