💨 Abstract

Columbia University disciplined nearly 80 students involved in pro-Palestinian protests, suspending or expelling them. The university faces federal funding cuts over alleged antisemitism on campus during the Israel-Hamas war. Columbia agreed to administration demands, including overhauling its student conduct process and defining antisemitism. Critics say the punishments exceed previous measures and some students refuse to apologize. Columbia's protests led to nationwide demonstrations and funding cuts to other universities.
