Columbia University's president said that talks with pro-Palestinian protesters over the dismantling of an encampment had failed and urged them to disperse or face suspension.

NEW YORK — Columbia University's president said on Monday that talks with pro-Palestinian protesters over the dismantling of an encampment on the Ivy League campus had failed and urged them to voluntarily disperse or face suspension from school.President Nemat Minouche Shafik said days of talks between student organizers and academic leaders had failed to break a stalemate over the encampment set up to protest Israel's war in Gaza.

Efforts to dismantle the encampment, which students set up again within days of the April 18 police action, have triggered dozens of similar protests at schools from California to Boston.Last week, Columbia took no action when two deadlines it had imposed on protesters to remove their tents slipped by without a deal. It cited progress in the talks.Protesters shared online a copy of a warning letter sent to them by the university on Monday morning.
