Columbia University has canceled in-person classes on Monday days after the arrests of more than 100 students for refusing to leave a pro-Palestinian encampment on the campus.
Columbia University president Nemat Minouche Shafik said in a statement posted on the university’s website that classes would be held virtually to “deescalate the rancor and give us all a chance to consider next steps.”
It comes after Shafik last week came under fire from Republicans at a House hearing on antisemitism on campus.
This is a breaking news story.
