Columbia University announced on Thursday that it had disciplined students, who occupied the Ivy League school’s Hamilton Hall last spring, including with “multi-year suspensions, temporary degree revocations and expulsions.”
“The return of suspended students will be overseen by Columbia’s University Life Office,” added the school, which is the subject of a federal probe for alleged inaction in response to Jew-hatred. “Columbia is committed to enforcing the university’s rules and policies and improving our disciplinary processes.”
The Trump administration recently announced that it is cutting about $400 million in federal funding to Columbia for its lack of response to antisemitism.
“This ruling is an important first step in righting the wrongs of the past year and a half,” stated Brian Cohen, executive director of Columbia Barnard Hillel. “I am grateful to the rules administrator and other members of the administration for their roles in ensuring these cases were resolved.”
