Tom Bateman Tuesday's turn of events filled members of the university community, including Columbia president Minouche Shafik, with "deep sadness", Chang said during the presser.
Reporting from Dallas "These are acts of destruction, not political speech," Chang said of the occupation of Hamilton Hall.
We're here in Dallas at the University of Texas at a peaceful protests where about 150 to 200 protesters were chanting, singing and waving flags.
The university administration then handed out a notice telling protesters the tent and the encampment they had created had to be removed immediately because they're in breach of university protocol.
We then saw state troopers armed with batons, with zip ties and in riot gear, who then began to move in on this encampment in waves.
They forced down the barricades that protesters had put up and they're ripping down gazebos and tents at the moment.
Some protesters were then forcibly taken down by the state authorities.
The effect of the state troopers has utterly changed the mood. There's a lot of anger now and chants of "shame of you", "where were you in Uvalde" and "why are you in riot gear" are now echoing in Dallas.
We're on the ground in Dallas and will keep you updated.
