NOW: Columbia University faculty link arms and form a wall in front of the entrance to the ‘Gaza Solidarity Encampment’ as hundreds of students encircle the both lawns

Students remaining in the encampment were told they could face disciplinary action after 2PM

“Bold, Beautiful, Arrested”. Love these kids. 😍

Helicopters have been hovering over campus and Morningside neighborhood non-stop, for almost 10 days. This constant noise is unbearable. Plus it is so triggering for someone who grew up in a war zone— unsurprisingly under the terrifying sounds of Israeli warplanes. Columbia University

I visited the Columbia University encampment. It’s peaceful, well-organized, prayerful and overflowing with donations.

It’s enacting the best of the university - a space of learning and action for emancipated futures.

No antisemitism in sight. Shabbat is at 7pm.

Today: “Sleepless 4 Palestine”

Happening now: Teach-in on history of imperialism in east Asia. This encampment is one of the most impressive spatial and political organizations I have been to. These students are outstanding organizers. 🤍

Viva Latino dad 😍...And I miss you, Dad. If you were alive, I know you would have said the same thing. I hope you are in a better place, not watching a genocide unfold ❣️

No money for NYC libraries. Why? Because monies are spent instead on NYPD’s riot gear to crackdown on students. Priorities, priorities.

Spent the most peaceful and therapeutic morning at the Gaza Solidarity Encampment today witnessing the care & community our young people are bringing into this world ❤️‍🩹 #columbia

Happening now: Awaiting the police and keeping calm with the legendary Fairouz playing on the lawn. Students to the university: أهواك بلا أمل ❤️
(love you without hope). Columbia University

Happening now: “NYPD, Why are you in riot gear, there is no riot here” Columbia University

Statement from Concerned Faculty at the Graduate School of Architecture, Planning and Preservation at Columbia in Support of Students Columbia GSAPP @Columbia Columbia GSAPP UP. For signatories: <docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…>

Faculty at Columbia University and Barnard College stand in solidarity with our students who are speaking truth to power, and firmly against the militarization of our campus, and the police harassment of our student protestors.

Appalled by Columbia University's descent into a police state, arresting students speaking up against g.e.n.o.c.i.d.e. Yesterday's congressional hearing with CU's president was equally appalling; Middle Eastern & pro Palestine faculty are silenced & intimidated. Academic Freedom is dead.
