Summary
Isra Hirsi, 21, says she was “basically evicted” after she was suspended from Columbia University’s Barnard College on Friday for participating in pro-Palestinian protests. She was one of three students suspended from Barnard, cutting off her access to food and housing.
Similar protests have popped up at New York University, Yale University, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Miami University of Ohio. The actions come despite opposition from political leaders on both sides of the aisle. A significant portion of the protesting students are Jewish, and protest groups have fought back against characterizations of their demonstrations as antisemitic.
