Columbia fails to rein in anti-Israel protesters before deadline as school claims to dole out suspensions to students

Suspended students will be ineligible to finish out the semester or graduate, according to Chang, who assailed the encampment as creating “an unwelcoming environment for many of our Jewish students” and a “noisy distraction” that interferes with teaching and learning. Students who were suspended during earlier protests were allowed to remain in their dorm rooms but nowhere else, the school newspaper the Columbia Spectator reported.

Scores of law-enforcement officers, many clad in riot gear, marched across the 50,000-student campus to face off with demonstrators. Six protesters were arrested on the spot before cops started rounding up others one by one. Police sources told The Post Monday afternoon that busloads of NYPD officers were standing by if summoned by the university. However, administrators had not asked cops to move in to remove students from the $90,000-per-year campus as it did April 18, during which 108 demonstrators were dragged away in cuffs.

Chang said of the suspended students, “Once disciplinary action is initiated, adjudication is handled by several different units within the university based on the nature of the offense.”
