Columbia University faces tense protests, shifting to virtual classes, and radical demonstrations. Read more about the chaos at Columbia!

Columbia University is in the eye of the storm with ongoing pro-Palestinian demonstrations causing tension and arrests. Classes have been moved online amidst the heated debates surrounding the Israel-Hamas conflict. The campus protests have extended to other universities like Yale and NYU, showcasing the division over the issue. Amidst the chaos, a Business School professor, Shai Davidai, faced denial of access due to involvement in the Gaza Solidarity Encampment. The atmosphere is charged with activism and conflict, making Columbia a hotspot for radical movements.

Columbia University has a history of being a platform for significant protests, reminiscent of the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations over 50 years ago. The recent surge in pro-Palestine protests has escalated tensions on campus, leading to police interventions and a shift to remote-only classes. The clash between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli groups continues to intensify, creating a volatile environment at Columbia and other universities.

Interestingly, the solidarity protests at Columbia have sparked worldwide attention, with the university's actions and responses under scrutiny. The arrests of demonstrators and the closure of the Gaza Solidarity Encampment have raised questions about freedom of expression on campus. As the situation unfolds, Columbia University remains at the forefront of the debate on activism, radicalism, and academic freedom.
