Columbia locks out thousands of students and staff after protesters occupy building
Thousands of Columbia University students and faculty members were cut off from libraries, labs and facilities on Tuesday after officials restricted access to the Morningside Heights campus after
The university only allowed entry with prior approval at a single entrance on West 116th Street and Amsterdam Avenue. “They were going to be good office hours because their finals are in a week, and I haven't been able to teach in person for the last couple of weeks either,” he said. “So I kind of wanted to have an in-person chance to actually meet with the students who care and I can't. My office building is entirely closed. The entire campus is closed.”
University President Minouche Shafik said earlier that day that officials and protesters could not reach an agreement that would result in the protesters leaving the lawn. University officials could not say how long the campus would remain closed to most students and faculty. Columbia students also occupied Hamilton Hall in 1968 to protest the Vietnam War, and remained inside for roughly a week.
