YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Student protesters continued to stay at Columbia University’s West Lawn beyond a 2 p.m. deadline to clear out, defying warnings that they will be suspended for breaking multiple school policies.

The standoff marks an escalation in tensions at the university over a pro-Palestinian encampment that was established more than a week ago.

On April 18, Columbia had called in the police to clear protesters for trespassing on its grounds, but that move made students dig in and re-establish their encampment. It also inspired similar sit-ins and demonstrations at other schools across the country, including Harvard University, Yale University and the University of Southern California.

The New York school is now seeking to clear the latest encampment ahead of commencement, scheduled for May 15.
