Columbia students occupied their university and are now facing reprisals from the police and their own university authorities. More than 100 students were arrested, and a handful have had their student status suspended by Columbia.
Protesters had set up an encampment occupying the lawn of the central campus at Columbia, a scene reminiscent of the historic anti-war protests in support of Vietnam at the same university.
The main demand of the student protesters is that Columbia divest from Israel and cut any academic cooperation. It's organized by several groups, including Columbia University Apartheid Divest, Students for Justice in Palestine, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
