On the first day of the new semester, Jan. 21, a group of four students wearing masks disrupted a class on the modern history of Israel at Columbia University. Here’s video of the disruption, plus an image of one of the flyers the students were distributing.

Despite the masks, three of those students were identified including two from Barnard college who were referred back to that institution for discipline. This week both of those students were expelled. The news of the expulsions was first published by CUAD, the group which organized the disruption in the first place. They called for a week of action to demand the students be reinstated.
