Calling Chard: asparagus and leek risotto with chicken | SaltWireNEW YORK - A stalemate at Columbia University over removing a student encampment to protest Israel's war in Gaza has spawned a wave of similar demonstrations on college campuses across the U.S., but authorities have shut down many before they can take root.
The tents, on a walkway next to the college in downtown Boston, were removed shortly after 1 a.m., police said. Videos posted online show helmeted police officers squaring off with people with interlocking arms. Tents were also being erected on Thursday morning at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., where a group of protesters chanted"It is our right to rebel, divest now or go to hell," video footage posted on social media showed.Columbia officials have given protesters until 4 a.m. on Friday to reach an agreement with the university on dismantling dozens of tents set up on the New York City campus in a protest that started a week ago.
More than 100 people were arrested and the tents were removed from the main lawn. But within a few days, the encampment was back in place, and the university's options appeared to narrow. In Austin, authorities showed no hesitation in shutting down a protest on the main campus of the University of Texas on Wednesday.
