Pro-Palestinian protesters at Barnard College force entry into campus hall and injure employee, school says

A Pro-Palestinian protest unfolded at Barnard College in New York City on Wednesday, where a small group “forcibly entered” a campus hall and allegedly physically assaulted a school employee, college officials said.

A sit-in demonstration was organized Wednesday at Barnard's Office of the Deans to protest the expulsion of two Barnard students last week for allegedly “disrupting” a Columbia University class on Israeli history a month earlier, according to protest group Columbia University Apartheid Divest. Barnard College is an independent women’s college affiliated with Columbia in which students can take courses at both schools.


During the protest, a small group of masked demonstrators “forcibly entered Milbank Hall” and “physically assaulted a Barnard employee, sending them to the hospital,” Robin Levine, Barnard College’s Vice President for Strategic Communications, said in a statement Wednesday evening.

As of Thursday morning, it's not clear what the nature of the injury was nor what the condition that employee is in.

“They encouraged others to enter campus without identification, showing blatant disregard for the safety of our community,” Levine said. “Violence and intimidation have no place here.”
