The recent pro-Palestine protests at Columbia University and Barnard College reflect ongoing tensions related to the Israel-Gaza war, impacting the campus atmosphere as fall classes begin.
As students returned for fall classes, demonstrations persisted outside Barnard College, demanding an end to the conflict. Inside Columbia, activists vandalized the Alma Mater statue with red paint in response to the ongoing turmoil.
After tumultuous spring protests led to significant disruptions, including hundreds of arrests and the resignation of Columbia's president, universities have taken measures to prevent further unrest, heightening security.
With security guards stationed at every entrance and NYPD presence increasing, students experienced a tense beginning to the semester, navigating through a maze of barriers as protests continue.
