Columbia University says it is making “important progress” with pro-Palestinian, anti-Israel student protesters who set up a tent encampment, and that it is extending a deadline to clear out the encampment, yet standoffs remain tense on the Ivy League campus in upper Manhattan.
Student protesters “have committed to dismantling and removing a significant number of tents,” the university says in a statement.
The Columbia Spectator reports that university leadership will hold a dialogue with student representatives in the coming 48 hours.
