Then they should move on to those with an African connection, after that I think anyone with connections to SAE. Indian and Pakistani next. After that the French, once accomplished they can start to roll out exclusions to the rest of Europe. Then the Brits, man the Scottish and Irish in particular, trouble makers them lot. With any luck in a decade or two America can be purely American.

Hmmm, if a group of white supremacists booed someone talking about their experience of racism, then got up and walked out, what would the administration’s response been? If that group then sent an email saying that they left because they did not feel comfortable and were subjected to hostility by the surrounding audience, would that be given a moment of respect? What if that organisation was giving large amounts of f…
Legally speaking, the University admin cannot do anything to Chinese students who boo and walk out, and also cannot do anything to white supremacists who boo and walk out. In the US, Students have First Amendment rights to express themselves. The critical point here is that by walking out they did not prevent any speakers from exercising their own First Amendment rights. It does not mean we have to respect them for t…

That's not how the First Amendment works. Cornell University is a private organization and it can choose not to do business with people if it wants to, provided that it's not breaking other laws by doing so.

(I would guess public universities can too - the First Amendment says "Congress shall make no law..." - not sure where its boundaries are drawn though.)

Either this is sarcasm or an extraordinary claim requiring extraordinary evidence.

Cornell is a private university, but it does receive significant government money and some of it's underling colleges are state funded. If it was acting in a way as to obviously disrespect the first amendment, that funding could be revoked.
I think leaving en masse from a lecture/speech that you ideologically disagree with is likely one of the few permissible forms of protest in a university context.

100% Agree Then they should move on to those with an African connection, after that I think anyone with connections to SAE. Indian and Pakistani next. After that the French, once accomplished they can start to roll out exclusions to the rest of Europe. Then the Brits, man the Scottish and Irish in particular, trouble makers them lot.

Ok this is classic hyperbole, but to pretend like 0 Chinese students are uses by the CCP, just like I'm sure the CIA has done similar tactics before would be naive.
