NEW YORK -- Columbia University started suspending students who refused to leave the protest encampment by the school-imposed 2 p.m. deadline on Monday. But at 8 p.m., most of the students that spoke to CBS New York said they weren't going anywhere. It's unclear if the university will ask the NYPD to clear the encampment. Remember, Columbia is private property so police cannot enter without being requested to by the administration.
'I am happy Columbia is taking a stance to protect its Jewish and Israeli student body who have been fearful these past few weeks,' one student said. Graduation is scheduled for May 15 on the same lawn where the encampment is.Encampment set up at Rutgers UniversityStudents at Rutgers University set up an encampment at the New Brunswick campus on Monday after first holding a rally and then marching to the location.
