amNewYork Metro and other journalists were permitted access by Columbia University to the school grounds for two hours during Monday afternoon. Some members of the encampment distributed food and offered performances, while others lazily lounged in the sun — but throughout the visit, amNewYork Metro did not observe any overt signs of the antisemitism that had been reported in recent days.
At about noon, those looking to show their support for the students assembled, with some chanting and banging drums. Within minutes, the NYPD made several arrests, seemingly for failing to heed the cops’ commands to stop. “The decision to send the riot police to pick up peaceful protesters on our campus was unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive, and dangerous. We are fortunate that no one was hurt,” Professor Christopher Brown told a group of hundreds. “She allowed slander of our institution to stand without rebuke — no response. I know these folks, you know them too. That’s not who we are.”
Deputy Commissioner Michael Gerber reminded the public that Columbia University is private property and they can not step foot on the grounds unless there is a serious emergency or if the college themselves requests them to move in.
