Pro-Palestine students forced their way into Barnard College’s Milbank Hall on Wednesday and allegedly assaulted a staff member, law enforcement sources reported. Dozens of mask-wearing students laid siege to the hall on Feb.

The group demanded that the university reverses the expulsions, gives amnesty to all students disciplined for anti-Israel protests, sets a meeting with Barnard leadership, and abolishes the college’s disciplinary system.

The student group Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine said on the social platform X that protesters dispersed after the administration agreed to meet with them Thursday afternoon.
