Columbia University has emerged as the epicentre of demonstrations that spread across the country after the college's president requested earlier this month that protesters there be removed, leading to arrests. | |
Over the past 24 hours, dozens of the pro-Palestinian protesters have escalated their demonstrations by occupying an academic building on Columbia's campus, Hamilton Hall. | |
Columbia has urged staff and students to stay away as the group has barricaded themselves inside the hall. They have limited access to the campus to students living in residential buildings there. | |
The takeover began after Columbia started suspending students who defied a deadline of 14:00 EST (18:00 GMT) on Monday to leave their two-week encampment nearby. | |
