   Two university staffers were among the 44 anti-Israel protesters   
   arrested inside the Columbia University building that a mob broke into   
   and occupied this week, school officials said.   
      
   About 30% of those busted in Hamilton Hall Tuesday night were outsiders   
   with no formal connection to the Ivy League school, according to a press   
   release from Columbia.   
      
   “A significant portion of those who broke the law and occupied Hamilton   
   Hall were outsiders,” the statement released Thursday said.   
      
   “The majority were a mix of adults, including graduate students, two   
   employees, and outsiders unaffiliated with Columbia University,” it noted.   
      
   The university’s implication that the illegal occupation of the academic   
   building was spearheaded in part by outside actors echoed Mayor Eric   
   Adams’ insistence that “outside agitators” were radicalizing the city’s   
   college students.   
      
   Fourteen of those arrested inside Hamilton Hall were Columbia   
   undergraduates, while nine were graduate students and two were   
   employees, the school said.   
      
   Six others were students at institutions affiliated with Columbia, the   
   statement added.
