House Democrats Called on Columbia Board to End Protest Encampment
(The Hill) Lauren Sforza - Reps. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ) and Dan Goldman (D-NY) led a group of 21 House Democrats urging Columbia University's board of trustees to disband "the unauthorized and impermissible encampment of anti-Israel, anti-Jewish activists on campus." "Many students have been prevented from safely attending class, the main library, and from leaving their dorm rooms in an apparent violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act....If any Trustees are unwilling to do this, they should resign so that they can be replaced by individuals who will uphold the University's legal obligations under Title VI."
