Columbia University cites progress with Gaza war protesters after encampment arrests

NEW YORK — Columbia University said early Wednesday that it was making “important progress” with pro-Palestinian student protesters who set up a tent encampment and was extending a deadline to clear out, yet standoffs remained tense on campus.

Columbia President Minouche Shafik had set a midnight Tuesday deadline to reach an agreement to clear the encampment. By about 3 a.m., the university said there was “constructive dialogue” and it will continue conversations for 48 hours. “I am incredibly moved by your courage and bravery as a student body in putting your bodies on the line to stand in solidarity to end the genocide taking place in Gaza,” Omar told those gathered, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reported.

Another encampment was set up Tuesday at the University of Rochester in upstate New York, where Omar Darwesh, a Palestinian senior, said he has lost relatives to the war. Now, universities are doling out more heavy-handed discipline, citing safety concerns as some Jewish students say criticism of Israel has veered into antisemitism.
