Columbia University student protesters have made it clear that they are determined to continue their protests until their demands are met. The protesters emphasized that they will not back down until the university addresses their concerns.
During a news briefing on Wednesday, Khymani James, a student at Columbia, expressed the group's unwavering commitment to their cause. James stated, 'We are not going anywhere. We are not going anywhere until our demands are met.'
One point of contention during the briefing was the presence of non-students within the encampment on Columbia's campus. When asked about this issue, James responded by saying, 'We cannot confirm or deny that. What I will say is: a reminder that Columbia is an open campus.'
The refusal to confirm or deny the presence of non-students suggests that the protesters are focused on maintaining their position and advocating for their demands. The situation remains fluid as the protesters stand firm in their resolve.
