Columbia University officials have finally taken disciplinary action against anti-Israel agitators who broke into Hamilton Hall on the school’s New York City campus in April 2024, with some getting suspended and others getting expelled.

The Columbia University Apartheid Divest group said in a press release Monday that Barnard College, which is part of Columbia University, expelled three students.

One student was expelled for participating in the occupation last April, while another was suspended for their involvement.

Barnard also expelled two students for disrupting a class called the “History of Modern Israel.” The duo allegedly wore headscarves to hide their faces when they ran into the classroom and threw antisemitic pamphlets around the room.

Demonstrators smashed windows, blocked windows and doors with chains and furniture and were seen covering their faces with keffiyehs before police took them into custody. Outside, they maintained a tent encampment for weeks.

The school faced criticism over its response to the agitators, who set up camp on a lawn and were accused of starting antisemitic confrontations. Some faculty members defended the group and even blocked other students and members of the press from entering their encampment.
