Columbia University students have entered the second day of their occupation of the campus’ great lawn, drawing pro-Palestine protesters in support of their protest.
The Columbia students and their allies set up camp on the lawn at around 4 a.m. on Wednesday. The young demonstrators say they are planning to remain until the institution divests in partners who support Israel.
