0:44Now PlayingColumbia University said it has started to suspend students who defied a 2 p.m. deadline to clear out of its West Lawn, ratcheting up tensions over a pro-Palestinian encampment 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 US, 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. As of 5:15 p.m. on Monday, tents on the Columbia lawn were still pitched and the demonstrators, who the university says are violating multiple policies, hadn’t moved to disperse.
