YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMore than a hundred students were arrested for trespassing at Columbia University after the Ivy League school called the New York Police Department to dismantle tents and disperse a pro-Palestinian protest on campus Thursday.
The incident occurred a day after Columbia President Nemat Shafik’s congressional testimony over antisemitism on college campuses. In a letter to the university community, Shafik expressed regret for authorizing police intervention but said she had no choice after “all of these attempts to resolve the situation were rejected by the students involved.”
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, speaking at a press conference at the NYPD headquarters announcing the arrests, acknowledged the protesters’ grief over the ongoing conflict. However, he stressed the importance of upholding the law and adhering to university policies.
