A group of about 50 pro-Palestinian students at Columbia University stormed the administration building of Barnard College, the university’s women’s college, on Wednesday, blocking access to the office of Dean Laura Rosenbury.
The protesters demanded the reinstatement of two students suspended for distributing anti-Zionist flyers in classrooms, which disrupted lectures. "We will continue disrupting until our demands are met. Free Palestine," the demonstrators chanted, according to witnesses.
The protesters also spray-painted anti-institution graffiti on the building's walls. Columbia University has not yet issued a statement on the incident.
