Students defied Columbia University's orders to vacate their pro-Palestinian protest by 2 p.m. Monday, despite warnings of suspension and after the school's president said it would not divest from Israel — a demand that has sparked protests on college campuses across the country.
"We have begun suspending students," Ben Chang, vice president for communications and a spokesperson for the university, said around 5 p.m., about three hours after the deadline passed.
The university had told student demonstrators to vacate by 2 p.m. or else “be suspended pending further investigation” and barred from completing the spring semester.
At the encampment, now in its second week, participants voted nearly unanimously to stay put.
Around 2:45 p.m. — after the 2 p.m. warning time to leave — protesters marched on the quad and chanted “Disclose! Divest! We will not slow, we will not rest!’"
A part of the encampment has been cleared to make space for the upcoming commencement ceremony for graduates, and picketers are largely sticking to the perimeters of the encampment.

“The university had told student demonstrators to vacate by 2 p.m. or else “be suspended pending further investigation” and barred from completing the spring semester.”
Well you know what they say — there are full-time students and part-time students. Then there are also no-time students.
Suspend, hell. EXPEL ‘em!
Suspend? Kick them out.
Suspension is nothing. Expel the little bastards.
I was hoping for...
...Double, Secret Probation!
now that they are suspended, they are trespassing and can be arrested.
I hope they don’t graduate and regret screaming kill the jews the rest of their lives!
“Hey, Hey!!! Ho, Ho!!! You knuckleheads have got to go!!” ;)
You have to admit the patriotic portion of America in 2024 is a far smaller percentage of the population than it was in 1968. Also, hi-tech wasn’t much of a consideration when it came to voter fraud and spying on Americans back in 1968.
No sympathy: College administrators and professors finally reap what they sow!:

You’ve had this coming for a loooooong time
One of my favorite all-time films is 1982’s “The Verdict” starring Paul Newman as down-and-out attorney Frank Galvin who takes on a case against the Archdiocese of Boston.
After astonishingly turning down a settlement offer from the defendant and opting to go to trial, Galvin soon loses his star witness.
Desperate and not knowing what to do, Galvin goes to the home of the trial judge late at night to beg for a continuance.
The judge slowly closes the door in his face and says “I have no sympathy for you.”
Consider me the judge these past few weeks when it comes to far-left college professors and administrators, most especially those in the Ivy League. Their campuses have transformed into literal encampments of overly privileged crybullies who really believe Israel is the villain in the current Mideast conflict, and the long-time terrorist group Hamas is the good guy.
Though many of these dolts must think COVID is still a threat judging by the number of masks they have on, any of their rhetorical masks are now off as blatant antisemitism is freely expressed and celebrated. Stuff like “Zionists don’t deserve to live” courtesy of Columbia U. Gaza Solidarity Encampment leader Khymani James (who uses “he, she” and “they” pronouns).
But too late for notifying their local draft boards that they are all eligible for military service.
Maybe they can join those youth groups turning in climate change control violators to the government agents.
Such as....
The idea is to help activate and support youth-led climate action on a number of fronts.”
That should free up their time ..so they can do some real “Israel” hating.
When you are suspended, do you receive automatic F’s in all your classes?
To the contrary, the university will readmit them in the fall and bill a ninth semester of tuition for students who would have otherwise graduated in eight.

Pampered babies.
“”said around 5 p.m., about three hours after the deadline passed.””
Did they all lose their watches? Or just never learned to tell time?
