New restrictions at Columbia as protests return to campus
Sep 02, 2024
New York [US], September 2: The new school year is still days away, but student protesters have already made a noisy return to Columbia University's New York campus, the epicenter of a pro-Palestinian protest movement that spread to schools around the world this spring. Blowing whistles and banging drums, pots and pans and the iron railings of the closed campus gates, about 50 protesters marched on the sidewalk on Sunday evening and bellowed pro-Palestinian chants. A New York Police Department surveillance drone hovered over their heads.
