Six of the more outspoken students were suspended from the university, and Kolakowski was expelled from the party and accused of a long list of "crimes" including having "sat down to tea with Cardinal Wyszynski," the Polish primate, and having had a prolonged meeting with American Professor Zbigniew Brzezinski of Columbia University. When a group of Poland's leading artists and writers wrote letters to the Politburo demanding Kolakowski's reinstatement, 13 of the petitioners were also expelled or suspended from party membership...
