YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

At Columbia, student demonstrators who have barricaded themselves in a campus building are facing expulsion. At Yale, the police were called in to clear an encampment that protesters are vowing to reoccupy.

The unfolding events at the two campuses represent the tough decisions the leadership at elite American universities is being forced to make, as they grapple with their response to increasingly confrontational pro-Palestinian protesters.

Fueled by the viral power of social media, the ongoing demonstrations at colleges across the US are sparking recriminations drawing in everyone from students to faculty and billionaire donors to politicians. They have also intensified debate over how universities respond to antisemitism versus other forms of discrimination, and allow for free speech while keeping students safe.

The latest dramatic turn in the protests came just after midnight Tuesday in New York, when students broke through doors to enter the Hamilton Hall building at Columbia and shut themselves inside.
