Tensions are escalating on campus as students have barricaded themselves inside Hamilton Hall, which sits on Amsterdam Avenue and is across from the main lawn, where a tent encampment is set up. CBS New York's Jennifer Bisram reports.

Gee, I can't believe these students aren't taking the colleges 36th threat seriously. They're almost acting like they've been threatened 35 times before this with no consequences.

Turn the electric off...no cell phones can charge.

The university president is ready to take action now that her job is on the line.

[SlickRick]

It's amazing authorities have allowed this shitshow to last this long.

Face expulsion??? Expel and deport if they are not citizens.

[robinroupe]

I really hope they expel the students and aren’t just tossing empty threats around.

[medinasrosarioz]

You know what will get their attention?

[kevinedwards]

When there are no consequences, you get anarchy…😬🤔🤫

[silentmajority]

Seems like yesterday they wanted us to pay their student loans

[willbusn]

The president of the university should resign.

[LJones-txeg]

I feel bad for the Columbia students not involved, they will be painted with the same brush. No one is hiring these people for the next 10 years at least

[MEOWMIX]

whooaaa....empty threats from columbia....pretty sure these "students" dont give a shi$

[chrisbieber]

Its beyond that. Its destructive and violent.. They need to be criminally charged. Nobody is above the law right?? Right????

I almost got expelled when I was an undergrad at Columbia for much less. I won’t divulge what it was, but it was certainly much less.

We can all agree the war is very sad . Personally, I would not risk my education for Sinwar, Haniyeh and Khaled Mashaal . I do not support Hamas, Islamic Jihadists ans Hezbollah ❌💀❌💀

[fishlebowski]

Expulsion and still have to pay whatever they owe

[kimberlygreenwald]

What of these federally funded colleges need to be penalized. And all of these kids holding student visas need to be deported. And be expelled, no refunding of tuition, no possibility of Withdrawing from classes they should all take an f. None have the possibility to retake their courses. It's time to start learning that for Every action There is an equal And opposite reaction. And that there are consequences for those actions. Play stupid games when stupid prizes.😮

[Yaalah]

There’s a money trail to follow here that likely goes to hostile foreign interests. Time will tell

[privatecitizen]

Facing expulsion? They need expelled period

[korocam]

History repeating itself.. Using force will only make things worse.
