After more than 100 students from Barnard College and Columbia University were arrested at an encampment calling for the school to divest from Israel amid the country’s deadly assault on Gaza, solidarity protests have erupted across the country. Similar encampments have begun at MIT, Tufts, Emerson College, NYU, The New School, the University of Michigan, Washington University in St. Louis, Vanderbilt University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.
Columbia University has canceled in-person classes today as campus protests over the war on Gaza enter a sixth day. Classes will be held online today as the campus remains largely locked down. Organizers say at least 50 students have been suspended from Barnard and 35 from Columbia. A growing number of Columbia and Barnard alumni, employees and guest speakers have also publicly condemned or announced they are boycotting the prestigious institutions.
At Yale, at least 45 students were arrested this morning as police attempted to clear an encampment set up on Friday night. Protests are continuing on the campus. | Posted on 22/Apr/2024 23:48:52
