According to Columbia University, anti-Israel protesters occupying Hamilton Hall at the school in New York are facing eviction.
According to a statement released on Tuesday afternoon from Columbia University,” learners occupying the building experience expulsion,” hours after protesters seized the tower, which has caused the school to impose restrictions on entry to the school “until circumstances allow otherwise.”
Additionally, the school made a number of changes to transport and mail services, including changes to student access to dorms and dining halls.
” We regret that protesters have chosen to escalate the situation through their activities,” Chang said. Our best goal is restoring order and protection on our campus.
Activists smashed the glass doors of the houses, hung pro-Palestine flags from the panels, and video footage that was posted on social media in the early days of Tuesday morning showed this.

Chang’s speech continued:
Yesterday, we made it very clear that protesters who violate the rules may continue to interrupt the University’s work. Continuing to do so will get met with evident effects. We are following through with the effects we outlined yesterday and have chosen to rise to an unsustainable circumstance, which includes vandalizing house, breaking doors and windows, and blocking doors.
Pupils occupying the building experience eviction.
Activists were informed that participating in the camp was against a number of University regulations. We gave everyone at the camp the chance to leave calmly. By committing to abide by University plans, they may be allowed to finish the quarter.

Days before protesters occupied Hamilton Hall, Columbia University announced it was beginning to suspend students in the camp after giving them a 2: 00 p. m. Monday deadline to depart.
On April 17, Columbia University inaugurated an original campsite. The next day, some kids were suspended, and thousands of protesters were arrested for their participation in the camp.
While the college removed the second camp, a minute a has popped up in its place.
