Pro-Palestinian protesters set up another encampment on Columbia University's campus on Friday evening, just in time for alumni weekend.This comes a few weeks after being ousted by the NYPD.The encampment is the most significant act of protest to happen on the college's campus since May 1, when NYPD officers stormed Hamilton Hall on April 30, clearing protesters out of the administrative building and making hundreds of arrests.
""We're asking them not to donate until divestment.

However, some alumni don't understand how the university is allowing this again.
