Columbia University students take over Hamilton Hall

Columbia University students have taken over the university's Hamilton Hall building after the administration refused to divest from Israel and started reportedly suspending more students.

The building was previously occupied by student protesters in 1968 protesting the Vietnam War along with other causes.

Happening now at Columbia University: students have taken over Hamilton building. It’s the same building the anti war student movement took over in 1968. pic.twitter.com/gt9xJ8KeKb
