Protesters occupied buildings at Columbia University after being asked to disperse from encampment. They climbed into dormitory windows and moved furniture in an academic building. University officials were responding while police monitored the situation.
Columbia set deadlines to address encampment violating policies and disturbing campus safety. Academic leaders and student organizers made efforts to find common ground but no resolution was reached.
Protesters requested Columbia to cut ties with Israeli companies amid Israel-Hamas conflict. The university declined but will review new proposals through its advisory committee for socially responsible investing.
