President Shafik shuts down campus ‘effective immediately,’ with only those who live in campus buildings allowed to enter
MANHATTAN—Student protesters at Columbia University stormed a campus building overnight, using a hammer to smash glass doors and tables and chairs to barricade the entrance. Once in control of the building, the protesters hoisted an “intifada” banner.
The takeover of Hamilton Hall came around 1 a.m. Student protesters marched through campus chanting “free Palestine” before moving to the hall. Masked individuals were filmed using hammers and other tools to open and then barricade a door to the hall. They also used tables, chairs, and a human chain to block entry to the building.
