Columbia University said they will be offering students the option to go hybrid for the remainder of the school year, with a few exceptions.

The university said in a statement that "All faculty whose classrooms are located on the main Morningside campus and equipped with hybrid capabilities should enable them to provide virtual learning options" for the remainder of the semester.

Dr. Shafik has been criticized from all sides. The U.S. House Republicans from New York sent a letter on Monday urging her to resign, saying she failed to provide a safe learning environment for the students. The University announced Monday that it plans to more than double campus public safety, instead of using the NYPD.."When it comes to the university's internal rules, rules about how and when students can gather, those are university rules. We are not the enforcers of those rules," said NYPD Deputy Commissioner Michael Gerber. "When we went in on Thursday that was because the university contacted us and said these students had broken various rules.

NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Operations Kaz Daughtry and Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Tarik Sheppard talk about the protests.
