Columbia canceled in-person classes, dozens of protesters were arrested at New York University and Yale, and the gates to Harvard Yard were closed to the public Monday as some of the most prestigious U.S. universities sought to defuse campus tensions over Israel's war with Hamas.More than 100 pro-Palestinian demonstrators who had camped out on Columbia바카라 게임 웹사이트�s green were arrested last week, and similar encampments have sprouted up at universities around the country as schools struggle with where to draw the line between allowing free expression while maintaining safe and inclusive campuses.NEW YORK UNIVERSITYAt New York University, an encampment set up by students swelled to hundreds of protesters throughout the day Monday. The school said it warned the crowd to leave, then called in the police after the scene became disorderly and the university said it learned of reports of 바카라 게임 웹사이트�intimidating chants and several antisemitic incidents.바카라 게임 웹사이트� Shortly after 8:30 p.m., officers began making arrests.바카라 게임 웹사이트�It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a really outrageous crackdown by the university to allow the police to arrest students on our own campus," said New York University law student Byul Yoon.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Antisemitism is never OK. That바카라 게임 웹사이트�s absolutely not what we stand for and that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s why there are so many Jewish comrades that are here with us today,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Yoon said.The protests have pitted students against one another, with pro-Palestinian students demanding that their schools condemn Israel's assault on Gaza and divest from companies that sell weapons to Israel. Some Jewish students, meanwhile, say much of the criticism of Israel has veered into antisemitism and made them feel unsafe, and they point out that Hamas is still holding hostages taken during the group's Oct. 7 invasion.COLUMBIA UNIVERSITYTensions remained high Monday at Columbia, where the campus gates were locked to anyone without a school ID and where protests broke out both on campus and outside. U.S. Rep. Kathy Manning, a Democrat from North Carolina who was visiting Columbia with three other Jewish members of Congress, told reporters after meeting with students from the Jewish Law Students Association that there was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�an enormous encampment of people바카라 게임 웹사이트� who had taken up about a third of the green.바카라 게임 웹사이트�We saw signs indicating that Israel should be destroyed,바카라 게임 웹사이트� she said after leaving the Morningside Heights campus. Columbia announced Monday that courses at the Morningside campus will offer virtual options for students when possible, citing safety as their top priority.A woman inside the campus gates led about two dozen protesters on the street outside in a chant of, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free!바카라 게임 웹사이트� 바카라 게임 웹사이트� a charged phrase that can mean vastly different things to different groups. A small group of pro-Israel counter demonstrators protested nearby.University President Minouche Shafik said in a message to the school community Monday that she was 바카라 게임 웹사이트�deeply saddened바카라 게임 웹사이트� by what was happening on campus.바카라 게임 웹사이트�To deescalate the rancor and give us all a chance to consider next steps, I am announcing that all classes will be held virtually on Monday,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Shafik wrote, noting that students who don바카라 게임 웹사이트�t live on campus should stay away.Protests have roiled many college campuses since Hamas바카라 게임 웹사이트� deadly attack on southern Israel, when militants killed about 1,200 people, most of them civilians, and took roughly 250 hostages. During the ensuing war, Israel has killed more than 34,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, according to the local health ministry, which doesn바카라 게임 웹사이트�t distinguish between combatants and non-combatants but says at least two-thirds of the dead are children and women.On Sunday, Elie Buechler, a rabbi for the Orthodox Union바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Jewish Learning Initiative at Columbia, sent a WhatsApp message to nearly 300 Jewish students recommending they go home until it바카라 게임 웹사이트�s safer for them on campus.The latest developments came ahead of the Monday evening start of the Jewish holiday of Passover.Nicholas Baum, a 19-year-old Jewish freshman who lives in a Jewish theological seminary building two blocks from Columbia's campus, said protesters over the weekend were "calling for Hamas to blow away Tel Aviv and Israel.바카라 게임 웹사이트� He said some of the protesters shouting antisemitic slurs were not students.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Jews are scared at Columbia. It바카라 게임 웹사이트�s as simple as that," he said. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�There바카라 게임 웹사이트�s been so much vilification of Zionism, and it has spilled over into the vilification of Judaism.바카라 게임 웹사이트�The protest encampment sprung up at Columbia on Wednesday, the same day that Shafik faced bruising criticism at a congressional hearing from Republicans who said she hadn't done enough to fight antisemitism. Two other Ivy League presidents resigned months ago following widely criticized testimony they gave to the same committee.In her statement Monday, Shafik said the Middle East conflict is terrible and that she understands that many are experiencing deep moral distress.바카라 게임 웹사이트�But we cannot have one group dictate terms and attempt to disrupt important milestones like graduation to advance their point of view,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Shafik wrote.Over the coming days, a working group of deans, school administrators and faculty will try to find a resolution to the university crisis, noted Shafik, who didn't say when in-person classes would resume.U.S. House Republicans from New York urged Shafik to resign, saying in a letter Monday that she had failed to provide a safe learning environment in recent days as 바카라 게임 웹사이트�anarchy has engulfed the campus.바카라 게임 웹사이트�HARVARD UNIVERSITYIn Massachusetts, a sign said Harvard Yard was closed to the public Monday. It said structures, including tents and tables, were only allowed into the yard with prior permission. 바카라 게임 웹사이트�Students violating these policies are subject to disciplinary action,바카라 게임 웹사이트� the sign said. Security guards were checking people for school IDs.The same day, the Harvard Undergraduate Palestine Solidarity Committee said the university바카라 게임 웹사이트�s administration suspended their group. In the suspension notice provided by the student organization, the university wrote that the group's April 19 demonstration had violated school policy, and that the organization failed to attend required trainings after they were previously put on probation.The Palestine Solidary Committee said in a statement that they were suspended over technicalities and that the university hadn't provided written clarification on the university's policies when asked.바카라 게임 웹사이트�Harvard has shown us time and again that Palestine remains the exception to free speech," the group wrote in a statement.Harvard did not respond to an email request for comment.YALE UNIVERSITYAt Yale, police officers arrested about 45 protesters and charged them with misdemeanor trespassing, said Officer Christian Bruckhart, a New Haven police spokesperson. All were being released on promises to appear in court later, he said.Protesters set up tents on Beinecke Plaza on Friday and demonstrated over the weekend, calling on Yale to end any investments in defense companies that do business with Israel.In a statement to the campus community on Sunday, Yale President Peter Salovey said university officials had spoken to the student protesters multiple times about the school바카라 게임 웹사이트�s policies and guidelines, including those regarding speech and allowing access to campus spaces.School officials said they gave protesters until the end of the weekend to leave Beinecke Plaza. The said they again warned protesters Monday morning and told them that they could face arrest and discipline, including suspension, before police moved in.A large group of demonstrators regathered after Monday's arrests at Yale and blocked a street near campus, Bruckhart said. There were no reports of any violence or injuries.MASSACHUSETTS INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGYPrahlad Iyengar, an MIT graduate student studying electrical engineering, was among about two dozen students who set up a tent encampment on the school바카라 게임 웹사이트�s Cambridge, Massachusetts, campus Sunday evening. They are calling for a cease-fire and are protesting what they describe as MIT바카라 게임 웹사이트�s 바카라 게임 웹사이트�complicity in the ongoing genocide in Gaza,바카라 게임 웹사이트� he said.바카라 게임 웹사이트�MIT has not even called for a cease-fire, and that바카라 게임 웹사이트�s a demand we have for sure,바카라 게임 웹사이트� Iyengar said. ___Perry reported from Meredith, New Hampshire, and Collins reported from Hartford, Connecticut.
