      [continued from previous message]              disciplinary process." They also renamed the library after Hussam Abu       Safiya, a Gaza hospital director the Israel Defense Forces accused of       being a terrorist and holding a rank in Hamas.              Even though the agitators voted to stay overnight, until Rosenbury       returned to campus in the morning, a bomb threat reported in the building       forced Barnard vice president for strategic communications Robin Levine to       try to evacuate the library. She told students, "You need to leave now,       this is not a joke," but the protesters refused to vacate the building,       telling her, "you're lying" and "prove it."              NYPD Strategic Response Group officers were called to the scene and       entered the occupied building, pushing most of the activists off campus.       Those who resisted were among the nine arrested.              Holmes is a 26-year-old graduate student at the Columbia affiliate college       Union Theological Seminary. He was arrested twice at Columbia during last       spring’s illegal pro-Hamas encampments, once on April 18 and again on       April 30 over the violent occupation of Hamilton Hall and was charged with       third degree criminal trespass. In September, Holmes was featured in a       video posted to X where he called for "the overthrow of the corporate       totalitarian state."              The last individuals arrested are 21-year-old Pranavi Davuluri, a student       worker at New York City’s School of Visual Arts, according to her       LinkedIn, Alexander Nanci-Marr, 20, and Allison Wuu, 18.              In a statement sent to the Barnard community, Rosenbury said that the       decision to allow NYPD on campus was due to the bomb threat, not the       occupation of the campus library.              "The safety of our campus, and every single person on our campus, must be       protected above all else. The moment we received the bomb threat, we had       to clear the Milstein Center and inform the authorities," she said. "The       decision to request NYPD assistance was guided and informed entirely by       the absolute obligation we have to keep every member of our community       safe."              https://freebeacon.com/campus/meet-the-columbia-radicals-arrested-for-       storming-a-barnard-building/              --- SoupGate-DOS v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
