“We will not move until Columbia meets our demands or... are moved by force,” said the student, who would not give his name.A few hours later, Columbia vice president of communications Ben Chang said the university had “begun suspending students as part of this next phase of our efforts to ensure safety on our campus.”
For almost two weeks, a wave of protests against Israel’s war in Gaza has swept through US university campuses from coast to coast, after around 100 protesters were arrested at Columbia on April 18. “One group’s rights to express their views cannot come at the expense of another group’s right to speak, teach and learn,” Shafik said.
However, Biden’s Republican opponents have seized on the issue, casting the protests as anti-Semitic and threatening to pull federal funding if they aren’t stopped.
