Students at Columbia University were informed in an overnight statement that all classes would be conducted virtually on Monday due to anti-Israel protesters occupying the campus, as announced by the university's president.
Columbia University President Dr. Nemat 'Minouche' Shafik expressed deep sadness over the actions of agitators who had established an 'encampment' on the campus, inciting students and faculty with anti-Jewish slogans and chants.
