It is really important--no matter how often it happens--that we not normalize college presidents calling in militarized police to clear students engaged in peaceful protests from their campuses.
Acting Columbia president Claire Shipman authorized NYPD to enter Butler Library and arrest around 75 pro-Palestinian protestors who had occupied the main reading room, according to the Columbia Spectator. Two protestors were taken out on stretchers. Two officers were also injured, per Shipman.
