Columbia University's president said on Monday that talks with pro-Palestinian activists over a protest encampment on the Ivy League campus in New York City had reached an impasse and urged demonstrators to voluntarily disperse or face suspension.
Protesters have vowed to keep their encampment on the Manhattan campus until Columbia meets three demands: divestment, transparency in Columbia’s finances and amnesty for students and faculty disciplined for their part in the protests. Efforts to remove the encampment, which students restoredon a hedge-lined lawn of the university grounds within days of the April 18 police action, have triggered dozens of similar protests at college campuses from California to Boston.
The university said in a statement that the "situation" posed by the encampment "had the increasing potential to become unsafe."Similar demonstrations have sprung up at universities in other countries. Students at McGill University in Montreal set up about 20 pro-Palestinian protest camps on Saturday demanding the university divest from companies with links to Israel.
