Columbia University has disciplined over 70 students for participating in two pro-Palestinian protests. The university confirmed sanctions including probation, suspensions (one to three years), degree revocations, and expulsions. The disciplinary action follows the Trump administration's funding cuts and subsequent policy changes at Columbia, including adjustments to its disciplinary process and increased security. Student groups have criticized the university's response, with claims that suspended students were required to apologize to return to campus. The protests, which involved library occupations and clashes with security, sparked international attention.
