Columbia University Issues Expulsions and Suspensions Over Anti-Israel Protests

The disciplinary actions come nearly a year after students occupied Hamilton Hall during protests, as the university faces scrutiny over antisemitism concerns.

• Columbia University has expelled, suspended, and revoked degrees for some students involved in the 2024 occupation of Hamilton Hall during anti-Israel protests.
• The University Judicial Board imposed these sanctions following hearings, though the exact number of disciplined students has not been disclosed.
• The protests, which included vandalism and barricading the building, were led by Columbia United Apartheid Divest (CUAD) and involved both students and non-affiliated activists.
• The Trump administration recently revoked over $400 million in federal grants to Columbia, citing its failure to address antisemitism on campus effectively.
• Interim President Katrina Armstrong stated that the university is committed to repairing the harm done to Jewish students and restoring campus safety.
