Columbia University protest: Alumni denounce crackdown on protests for Gaza

A group of former Columbia students have destroyed their diplomas to denounce the university’s crackdown on protests against Israel’s war on Gaza. The alumni group gathered outside the gates as the university’s commencement ceremony was taking place. Several current Columbia students have been detained by the Trump administration since March.
