Dozens of students at Columbia University in New York City stormed across the campus and took over a building early on Tuesday, just one day after the school began suspending students who defied a deadline to disperse from a pro-Palestinian encampment, a spokesperson for the university confirmed to The Epoch Times.
In an emailed statement to The Epoch Times, Ben Chang, vice president for communications at Columbia University, said students had begun barricading themselves inside Hamilton Hall—a building near the South Lawn where the office of the dean is located—in the early hours of the morning.
