Barnard College has suspended at least 53 students for participating in an anti-Israel protest at Columbia University. The students have been evicted from campus and lost access to most facilities, including healthcare and academic support. Some of the affected students have criticized the college’s decision, calling it “vile” and claiming that the school is not helping them find alternative housing. The college, however, has offered to lift the suspensions for students who agree to follow all Barnard rules during a probationary period.
