NEW YORK -- Police arrested more than 100 people at Columbia University on Thursday at a makeshift encampment set up by pro-Palestinian protesters on the university's main lawn. It was the second day of demonstrations on and off Columbia's campus in Upper Manhattan after student's set up the unsanctioned tent city. Police were monitoring activities near campus for most of the day and made arrests before confronting students at the tents.
Shafik said all university students participating in the encampment are being suspended. 'I regret that all of these attempts to resolve the situation were rejected by the students involved. As a result, NYPD officers are now on campus and the process of clearing the encampment is underway,' Shafik wrote in the statement to the Columbia community. The students were warned to leave the encampment by 9 p.m. Wednesday, Shafik wrote.
