Columbia University is under fire for a Thursday night update on the anti-Israel protest that has dominated the New York City campus.
“The talks have shown progress and are continuing as planned,” the college said in a statement on its website.
“For several days, a small group of faculty, administrators, and University Senators have been in dialogue with student organizers to discuss the basis for dismantling the encampment, dispersing, and following University policies going forward. We have our demands; they have theirs. A formal process is underway and continues,” the statement said.
“There is a rumor that the NYPD has been invited to campus this evening. This rumor is false,” the update said.
The update ignited anger on social media
