Protests Continue At Columbia University Days After Arrests Of Pro-Palestine Students
Students are continuing their protest for a second week on the campus of Columbia University in New York City, on April 25, 2024. They are camping out with tents still in place as part of the ''Gaza Solidarity Encampment,'' which has evolved into a well-organized community protesting the Israel-Gaza War. The encampment features a schedule of activities, including talks and teach-ins, a First Aid Tent, a food-sharing and distribution system, and a prominently displayed set of community guidelines. Negotiations are ongoing between the students and the administration, following days after Columbia University President Nemat ''Minouche'' Shafik called the NYPD to arrest numerous pro-Palestine students who refused to dismantle their protest encampments on the main campus quad. This action came after President Shafik was questioned before Congress regarding campus antisemitism and the enforcement of rules against protests. The demonstrators are demanding investment transparency, divestment from Israel due to the ongoing Israel-Gaza War, and amnesty for students who have been disciplined for participating in the protests.
