How Columbia University triggered campus protests across US, several students arrested

Hindustan Times  

US universities are up in arms against the government and the authorities amidst the Hamas-Israel conflict. Columbia University’s recent decision to involve the New York Police Department in clearing pro-Palestinian protesters from campus has ignited a series of intense demonstrations across universities in New York City and nationwide. The events unfolded following the arrest of 108 Columbia University demonstrators, including Isra Hirsi, daughter of Rep. Ilhan Omar, drawing attention and solidarity protests from institutions such as New York University, Yale University, the University of Illinois, and even further afield to the University of California, Berkeley, and the University of Southern California. The genesis of the protests traces back to April 17 when Columbia University President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik faced inquiries about on-campus anti-semitism during a hearing before the Republican-led House Committee on Education and the Workforce. Marianne Hirsch, a Columbia University English professor, criticized Shafik's handling of the situation, "squashing peaceful protest, squashing open debate, not allowing students to express their opinions and debate their opinions."
