HeadlineFeb 27, 2025

Here in New York, students at Barnard and Columbia University are taking part in a sick-out today to protest the expulsion of two Barnard students for participating in a Palestinian rights protest that allegedly disrupted a class called “History of Modern Israel.” On Wednesday, dozens of students took over a floor of Barnard College, dispersing only after Barnard’s administration agreed to meet with them today.
