Original Note:
Students in previous protests at Columbia University were not arrested "for being pro-Palestine." They were arrested after University President Shafik declared the encampments a “clear and present danger” to campus safety, and because they disrupted others' studies. https://www.columbiaspectator.com/news/2024/04/18/shafik-authorizes-nypd-to-sweep-gaza-solidarity-encampment-officers-in-riot-gear-arrest-over-100/ https://apnews.com/article/columbia-protests-israel-palestinian-hirsi-cd80372939c7c08a40346e8b7d546da1
