Chassidy’s ultimate challenge | SaltWire #ultimatechallenge #canada #realitytvNEW YORK - Columbia's embattled president came under renewed pressure on Friday as a university oversight committee met to address her attempt two weeks ago to clamp down on protests that have roiled the Ivy League school and spread across the country and aboard.
Like-minded protests against Israel's actions have spread overseas, as well, with tensions flaring in front of Paris' prestigious Sciences Po university on Friday as pro-Israeli protesters came to challenge pro-Palestinian students occupying the building. Police had to move in to keep the two sides apart.
Some Republicans in Congress have accused Shafik and other university administrators of being too soft on protesters and allowing Jewish students to be harassed on their campuses. Hartzell in a statement said he made the decision on grounds that protest organizers aimed to “severely disrupt” the campus for a long period.
While Columbia remains the epicenter of the student protest movement, the national spotlight has shifted to new campuses - from the University of Southern California to Atlanta's Emory University to Boston's Emerson College - nearly every day this week. USC this week canceled its main May 10 graduation ceremony, saying newly required security measures would have placed excessive delays on crowd control.
