Punishments were handed down to students who participated in pro-Palestinian demonstrations that involved the occupation of a campus library in May and the setup of an encampment in an academic building last April.
The specifics of the punishments for each individual student will not be disclosed by Columbia, though the school shared the sanctions include “probation, suspensions (ranging from one year to three years), degree revocations, and expulsions.”
