Columbia University has expelled, suspended, and revoked the degrees of student activists who took over a campus building during anti-Israel protests. The university's judicial board issued punishments for the takeover of Hamilton Hall, but the number of students punished was not disclosed. Jewish campus leaders applauded the university's actions, while Congressional Republicans have criticized the university for not disciplining more student protesters. The Trump administration has cut funding to Columbia due to antisemitism allegations and a federal antisemitism task force is set to visit the university.
