MORNINGSIDE HEIGHTS, Manhattan (PIX11) – Protesters have taken over a building on the Columbia University campus early Tuesday morning after discussions between the school and demonstrators broke down.
Around 30 people are inside Hamilton Hall, which is the home of the school’s Department of Classics, sources told PIX11 News. It’s the latest escalation at the pro-Palestinian encampment on Columbia’s campus.
Students are demanding that Columbia divest from companies with financial holdings in Israel. Columbia began issuing suspensions for those who remain in the encampment on Monday, which bars students from graduating and revokes their access to campus facilities.
The suspensions last until next June.
Final exams at Columbia start this Friday, and commencement is set to take place on May 15.
