"Protests and Arrests: Tensions Escalate at Columbia University"

More than 100 student demonstrators were arrested at Columbia University after the police cleared an encampment set up to protest the Israel-Hamas war. Despite the crackdown, student activists remained defiant, with scores of students taking over a campus lawn, enjoying donated pizza and snacks, and even holding an impromptu dance party. The university's decision to bring in law enforcement has sparked questions about whether more stringent tactics will quell protests or fuel them, as college administrators grapple with the ongoing student activism over the Palestinian cause.
