Columbia Protesters Defy University Orders to Clear Encampment Despite Suspensions

ours after Columbia University’s 2:30 p.m. Monday deadline for students to leave the encampment to avoid suspension, hundreds of pro-Palestinian students remained on and around the lawn. The tents stayed up.

On Monday afternoon, hundreds of students rallied on campus grounds in the early afternoon with megaphones. Later on, it appeared calmer. There were only a few counter protesters on campus; two men waved giant Israeli flags outside the Butler Library. Pro-Palestinian students did not appear to be engaging with them.
