Columbia University Cancels Classes Amid Pro-Palestinian Protests

Demonstrators protest outside Columbia University in solidarity with Pro-Palestinian organizers, in New York

Columbia University has made the decision to cancel in-person classes and transition to remote learning after a series of pro-Palestinian protests erupted on campus. The university administration cited concerns for the safety and well-being of students, faculty, and staff as the primary reason for this shift.

The university has acknowledged the right to peaceful protest but emphasized the need to maintain a safe and inclusive environment for all members of the campus community.
