| Reporting from Columbia University | |
| Some staff members from Barnard College, an affiliate of | |
| Columbia University, have joined the protesters as a “precautionary measure”. | |
| Saima Akhtar, a staff member at Barnard College, told me that staff heard about the deadline and understood the | |
| administration had not been able to reach “final negotiations” with the | |
| students. | |
| “We’re just trying to be here as a precautionary measure,” | |
| she said, adding that “we’re waiting to see what happens”. | |
| She said the students want “to be heard” and "they have | |
| a right to protest”. | |
| “They have a right to stand up for what they believe is an important | |
| issue. And we’ll see how the higher ups respond to their right to free | |
| expression.” | |
| "It’s been impressive to see this kind of student mobilisation." | |
