The president of Columbia University has resigned, effective immediately

Some universities are telling pro Palestine demonstrators their time is up. That's leading to *** wave of arrests and suspensions. Columbia University says protesters must sign *** form promising to abide by school policies. Students who do not will be placed on suspension ineligible to complete *** semester or graduate like other schools. Columbia says the demonstrations make some Jewish students feel unsafe. But activists say being pro Palestine is not the same as being anti Semitic, the liberation of Palestine and Palestinian and the Jewish people are intertwined anti Semitism and any other form of racism has no place on this campus. And in this movement, arrests continue though Colombia says it would prefer to keep police off campus if they request us to go on to dismantle or any illegal behavior. We'll do so. At the University of Pennsylvania, some demonstrators say they are committed to defying *** similar order to disband. Students are putting potentially their degrees on the line. They're putting access to future employment on the line. More broadly, student arrests are surging across the country but protests continue to grow and spread. The focus of this protest is to stop killing Palestinian people and to get our institutions to take accountability for our investments that are profiting off of the genocide of Palestinian people. I may be kindly reporting.
