Columbia University has become the driving force behind protests over the Gaza War
A standoff between pro-Palestinian protesters and Columbia University administration reached a peak in New York on Tuesday. Officials were keenly watching whether this would result in more protests on college campuses or whether the growing movement would be suppressed.
Protesters in Columbia have occupied an academic building
that has a history. This building was occupied by student protesters during the
Vietnam War too.
The surge in action by the protesters came after the
deadline issued by the university administration on Monday for the protesters
to leave the camp passed.
