Apr 29, 2024, 05:37 PM
Columbia University has escalated its response to the ongoing pro-Palestinian encampment on its campus, issuing a deadline for protesters to vacate by 2 PM or face suspension. Despite negotiations, President Minouche Shafik announced that the university will not divest from Israel, a key demand of the protesters. The encampment, which began two weeks ago, has been met with increasing pressure, including a letter from 21 House Democrats urging decisive action. As the deadline approached, faculty and students formed a human barrier, indicating potential resistance to the administration's demands.
