Columbia Threatens Arrests If Student Radicals Move Forward With Planned Anti-Israel Encampments
24th April 2025
Columbia University warned student radicals that they could face disciplinary actions—and possibly arrest—if they move forward with their plans to launch anti-Israel encampments.
“We have been made aware of possible plans to establish encampments on Columbia’s campuses. We want to clearly communicate that camping and encampments on Columbia’s campuses are prohibited by University Policy,” Columbia’s public safety department announced in a university-wide email Wednesday evening.
“Participants will be instructed to disperse,” the email continued. “Individuals who refuse to disperse will be identified and sanctions, including potential removal from campus and possible arrest, may be applied.”
