Columbia University has given students until 2 pm (local time) Monday to clear out from the pro-Palestinian encampment that has occupied a central lawn on its campus for nearly two weeks, warning them that they will face immediate suspension if they do not leave by then.
Students will be not be punished for their participation if they sign a form promising not to break any university rules through the end of the next academic year.
The warning came after Columbia prez Nemat Shafik said protest organisers and academic staff couldn’t reach an agreement that would break a stalemate over the encampment, which the administration says violates university rules.
