Pro-Palestinian Protests Erupt at Columbia and Barnard Over Student Expulsions
Pro-Palestinian protests have intensified at Columbia University and Barnard College following the expulsion of students involved in a sit-in at the Milstein Library. Demonstrators gathered at Columbia's Low Steps on March 6th to protest against NYPD brutality and express solidarity with Palestine, highlighting the tension between student activism and institutional response.
The unrest began after Barnard College expelled three students for their participation in the library protest, which called for the reversal of the expulsions and broader institutional changes. Protesters have entered the library, turning it into a focal point of the ongoing demonstrations. The situation at Barnard has drawn significant attention, with students and activists condemning the college's decision and demanding a reevaluation of the disciplinary actions taken against the students.
The protests have not only spotlighted the issue of student expulsions but have also brought to the forefront the broader debate on free speech and activism on college campuses. As the demonstrations continue, both Columbia and Barnard are faced with the challenge of addressing student grievances while maintaining order on campus.
