According to a report from The New York Post, 30 pro-Palestinian students in Hillary Clinton’s class at Columbia staged a walkout in order to “shame” the school. The students feel the university didn’t do enough for students who signed an anti-Israel statement.
Clinton was about halfway through the class when the students got up to leave.
The students joined nearly 300 others who peacefully sat in the lobby of the school’s International Affairs Building Wednesday.
Clinton left via a side door and has not publicly commented on the event.
From The New York Post:
Students were protesting against the school’s lack of action to prevent the doxxing of students, whose faces appeared on trucks that drove near the Morningside Heights campus last week.
Students claimed the photographs used on the truck — alongside the words “Columbia’s Leading Anti-Semites” — were taken from a “private and secure” server for students in the School of International and Public Affairs.
It is unclear who leaked the photos, but as the school is presumably the copyright holder of the pictures, it could have potentially taken action to stop them being displayed.
Students are demanding “immediate legal support for affected students” and wants the school to show a “commitment to student safety,” the NYT reported.
