Seriously? You’re asking whether or not it’s ETHICAL that students at one of the top universities in the world have to put up with poor customer service? Why not ask whether it’s ethical that Columbia can use its wealth, influence, and reputation to re-locate neighborhood residents and businesses at will? Don’t get me wrong; Columbia is usually a pretty good landlord and brings a lot of business, money, and security to the neighborhood. But the idea that Columbia students are being oppressed by working-class residents of Morningside Heights sounds like the premise for a Fed article, not a real argument. You can pity the students when the government demands that EC residents be relocated so that Manhattanville residents can move in.
