Pro-Palestinian protesters encamped at Columbia University in tents were told to vacate by 2 p.m. Monday or risk suspension, according to a letter distributed to students.

Pro-Palestinian protesters encamped at Columbia University defied a 2 p.m. deadline to leave an encampment of around 120 tents on the school’s Manhattan campus. Instead, hundreds of protesters marched around the quad, clapping, chanting and weaving around piles of temporary flooring and green carpeting meant for graduation ceremonies that are supposed to begin next week.

They were notified by a Yale official that they could face discipline, including suspension, and possible arrest if they continued.Yale said in a statement Monday that while it supports peaceful protests and freedom of speech, it does not tolerate policy violations such as the encampment.
