Students at Columbia University broke into a building, barricaded it, caused damage, and even took university staff hostage. They’re still inside, not allowing other students or faculty to enter.
Protesters occupying Columbia’s Hamilton Hall claim the university is trying to “violently prevent them from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.” They expressed fears of possibly “dying from dehydration or starvation, or becoming severely ill!”
This woman, Johannah King-Slutzky, is a paid instructor and PhD candidate at the university. She is studying “theories of the imagination and poetry through a Marxian lens,” which seems quite fitting.
