CAMPUS UNREST. Pro-Palestinian student protesters lock arms at the entrance to Hamilton Hall on the campus of Columbia University, on Wednesday in New York City. Dozens of helmeted police flooded Columbia University’s campus in the heart of New York City to evict a building occupied by pro-Palestinian student protesters and detain demonstrators.
Columbia, where at least 100 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested last week, cited security concerns as it canceled the graduation ceremony scheduled for May 15, with smaller events planned instead. Some unfurled Palestinian flags and marched toward the stage chanting “You are funding genocide,” before being stopped by police.
The University of Southern California in April canceled its main graduation ceremony set for May 10 following pro-Palestinian protests on campus, citing a need for additional safety measures at the event that normally hosts 65,000 people.
