Columbia University President Minouche Shafik has set a deadline of midnight for reaching an agreement in negotiations with student organizers involved in the 'Gaza Solidarity Encampment.' Failure to reach an agreement may lead to considering alternative options for clearing the West Lawn and restoring calm to campus.
In an email sent to the Columbia community, Shafik stated that discussions have been ongoing with various groups, including student organizers, faculty members, administrators, and the University Senate, to address the dismantling of the encampment and ensuring compliance with university policies moving forward.
