Columbia University Faculty Stage Walkout in Protest of NYPD Involvement in Palestine Solidarity Demonstrations
Faculty members at Columbia University in New York City staged a walkout on Monday, expressing their opposition to the school’s decision to call in the NYPD to address pro-Palestine protests.
The walkout, documented on social media, featured hundreds of university staff congregating outside the campus grounds. The action was prompted by the earlier denial of access to campus for Shai Davidai, a Jewish professor at the university, on the same day.
The walkout represents a clear stance against the university’s decision to involve the NYPD in the policing of protests related to the Palestine solidarity movement.
