💨 Abstract

Columbia University has imposed various penalties on students who participated in a spring 2023 campus occupation during pro-Palestinian protests. The punishments range from multi-year suspensions, temporary degree revocations, and expulsions. The decision was made in response to the U.S. government's concerns about antisemitism on campus, which followed the cancellation of $400 million in federal grants and contracts.
