NEW YORK, April 23 — Classes at Columbia University were shifted online yesterday as protests over the Israel-Hamas war heightened tensions on US campuses and led to dozens of arrests at Yale University.
“Over the past days, there have been too many examples of intimidating and harassing behaviour on our campus,” she said.“Anti-Semitic language, like any other language that is used to hurt and frighten people, is unacceptable and appropriate action will be taken. Protests also spread to MIT, New York University, the University of Michigan and Yale, where at least 47 people had been arrested yesterday after refusing requests to disperse.
