Anti-Israel protesters caused $3M worth of damage, security costs at City College campus: 'Real shame'

A protester who threw a flare that torched the roof of the City University of New York school's administration building caused $350,000 worth of damage alone, said CUNY Chief Operating Officer Hector Batista.

"It's costing over $3 million - money that should be going to our academic institution and lifting up our students," Councilman Eric Dinowitz (D-Bronx) stated.

Dozens of protesters were arrested, including many outside agitators who were not students, during the unrest over Israel's retaliatory response against Palestinian Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

"That's a real shame - CUNY's purpose is to uplift people, not tear down the institution," Dinowitz expressed, highlighting the missed opportunities to support students in various programs.
