Columbia University should cover costs for NYPD presence on campus, not burden taxpayers, according to a group of city council members who criticized the request.
The council members emphasized that the university caused the situation and should take responsibility for cleaning it up, rather than relying on taxpayer funds.
Columbia's request to have NYPD stay on campus to prevent future protests was deemed unnecessary and criticized as a misuse of significant police resources.
City council members urged Columbia University to use its own resources to cover costs of police assistance, highlighting their ability to afford it with high tuition fees.
