Columbia University anti-Israel protesters: 5 dramatic moments from a week of chaos
Fox News
Anti-Israel protesters continue to hold demonstrations at Columbia University in New York City, continuing a week of chaos that started Wednesday.
Columbia University President Dr. Nemat "Minouche" Shafik mostly closed the campus and urged commuting students not to travel to the campus in a statement posted just after 1 a.m. on Monday. In the statement, the president said she was "deeply saddened" by certain actions of the agitators, who have formed an "encampment" on the campus and have riled students and faculty with anti-Jewish slogans and chants.
The statement is the latest action from the school’s administration amid the fiery protests in and around the New York City campus that began Wednesday as dozens of anti-Israel activists created an encampment on the main lawn of campus.
