Protest encampments spread to NYU and Columbia campuses abroad

Last week, Columbia University students gathered to create an encampment protesting the University's involvement with corporations that have ties to Israel and in solidarity with the over 33,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli military offensives.

And this week, students at New York University—just about six miles from Columbia—created their own encampment on their University's campus. Students at both schools have faced disciplinary consequences for the protests and/or been arrested by the NYPD.
