I will never work with Columbia affiliate on any academic project, collaboration, or research again. This is unconscionable. There should be a full academic boycott of Columbia until the board and president Minouche Shafik resign. This is a disgrace.

Plainclothes going on.

Corrections bus on the move.

Drones with search lights.

More military grade michinery from NYPD than I have ever seen. But those outside singing to the students inside.

More cops going in.

Drones VERY low over crowd.
