Columbia University has taken disciplinary action against students involved in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, including suspensions, expulsions, probation, and degree revocations. The university's decision follows months of tension over campus protests related to the war in Gaza and comes as it negotiates with the federal government to restore lost funding. Columbia has agreed to overhaul its disciplinary process and redefine antisemitism to meet federal demands after funding was withdrawn over its handling of student protests. Student activist groups have criticized the severity of the sanctions, vowing to continue their advocacy for Palestinian rights despite the consequences.
