Students at Columbia University, who inspired pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the country, have said they reached an impasse with administrators and intend to continue their encampment until their demands are met. The announcement after two days of exhaustive negotiations came as Columbia’s president faced harsh criticism from faculty and put more pressure on university officials to find a resolution.
As the death toll mounts in the war in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis worsens, protesters at universities across the country are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict. Some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus.
