And the this isn't the first time this group at Columbia has harassed people. A year or so ago they locked housekeeping staff into a building with them overnight, preventing them from getting home to their families. And they trashed the building (I guess they assumed the housekeepers could work all night cleaning up the mess.)

When the housekeepers protested at being kidnapped, they were told "this is more important than you."
