Columbia University’s president said Monday that talks with student organizers have failed to reach an agreement, and the university will not divest from Israel — a demand that has sparked protests on college campuses across the country.

Protests spread quickly last week on campuses from coast to coast, and have also resulted in mass arrests and crackdowns. “While the University will not divest from Israel,” it offered to create an expedited timeline for a review of new proposals from students by the school's Advisory Committee for Socially Responsible Investing, which explores divestment, Shafik said.
