The protests at Columbia University resumed with heightened intensity as students encountered a significant delay, with demonstrators chanting slogans that highlighted the ongoing conflict in Israel and Palestine.
Columbia's recent turmoil surrounding antisemitism and protests led to the resignation of President Minouche Shafik, leaving interim president Katrina Armstrong to navigate the sensitive landscape of student expression and safety.
A recent report from Columbia's antisemitism task force emphasized the urgent need for changes to combat hate on campus, indicating that Jewish and Israeli students faced considerable challenges during the past semester.
Despite new protest guidelines aimed at mitigating disruptions, the divisions on campus seem to intensify, reflecting a broader national context where anti-Israel sentiments contribute to rising tensions among student populations.
