Episode: Pro-Palestine Barnard Sit-In Outside Administration Offices
Description: On Feb. 26, about 50 students in keffiyehs occupied the hallway outside the offices of Barnard College’s top administrators. Barnard is an undergraduate women’s college located across the street from Columbia University. Over more than six hours of tense negotiations, protesters demanded that the school’s leaders rescind the expulsions of two Barnard student protesters — the first such student expulsions for political activity at Columbia or Barnard since 1968. We speak with The Indypendent’s Eric Santomauro-Stenzel, who was on hand during the sit-in. His story, “Inside the Student Sit-in That Rocked Barnard College” is up on indypendent.org.
