An ongoing occupation protest by pro-Palestinian students is occurring at Columbia University in New York City. The protests began on April 17, 2024, when students occupied a building on campus to protest the university's investments in companies that they say profit from the Israeli occupation of the West Bank. The occupation has since spread to other buildings on campus, and students have been holding rallies and teach-ins to raise awareness of their cause. On Monday, April 25, 2024, Columbia University announced that it had suspended a student protest leader who had used the term "Zionists" in a speech. The university said that the term was offensive and that it violated the university's policy on hate speech. The student, who has not been identified, has been banned from campus pending a disciplinary hearing. The suspension has sparked outrage among some students, who say that the university is trying to silence dissent. They argue that the term "Zionists" is not inherently offensive and that it is protected by the First Amendment. The university has defended its decision, saying that it has a responsibility to create a safe and welcoming environment for all students.
