Columbia University Student Protests Escalate

Columbia University faces a showdown as student protestors refuse to leave their pro-Palestinian encampment, leading to suspensions and escalating tensions on campus. The university's leadership calls in the New York Police Department to break up the encampment, sparking outrage and backlash from the student community. Demands for divestment from companies linked to Israel, transparency in university finances, and amnesty for disciplined students and faculty fuel the protests. The encampment talks stall, leading to suspensions and continued demonstrations, with clashes between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian activists at universities across the country. The situation remains tense as students stand their ground, chanting for justice and refusing to back down.
