Columbia University: Pro-Hamas protesters seize control of historic building

Pro-Hamas protesters seize control of historic Barnard academic building & assault college employee:
Several dozen keffiyeh-clad anti-Israel protesters took over a building at Barnard College early Wednesday evening, assaulting a school employee while protesting the expulsions of two students who stormed a Columbia University class in January and threw around flyers loaded with hateful rhetoric.

Videos circulating online, posted by Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine on X, show the masked students lining a hallway in Milbank Hall, the oldest building on campus, beating drums and loudly chanting through megaphones.

One of the X posts made by the group — which proclaims “long live the student intifada” in its bio — includes a list of demands, among them a reversal of the expulsions, amnesty for students punished during last year’s anti-Israel campus protests and a public meeting with Dean Leslie Grinage and Barnard President Laura Rosenbury.

The group’s demands also include “abolition of the corrupt Barnard disciplinary process and complete transparency for current, past, and future disciplinary proceedings.”
