Columbia University Protests and Arrests

Disturbances on Campus

In a whirlwind of events, Columbia University's campus has been shaken by a series of protests and arrests. Over the past 24 hours, tensions flared as students and faculty grappled with the consequences of the escalating demonstrations.

Historical Echoes

These protests echo historical student activism that marked the Vietnam War era. Students are again voicing their concerns, this time against Columbia's plans to expand its campus and the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Campus Encampment

The protests escalated when demonstrators seized Hamilton Hall and set up an encampment on the West Lawn. This action prompted police intervention, resulting in the arrest of several individuals.
