According to the university, protesters were asked to show their IDs and disperse. The university says protesters&#8217; identification &#8220;will be recorded.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>As of early evening, no protesters had chosen to identify themselves and leave, the university said. Protesters were told failure to comply may result in arrests, the school added.<\/p>\n<p>Individuals who were in the library but not involved in the protest were allowed to leave, the university said.<\/p>\n<p>At least three people were seen being taken into custody by public safety.<\/p>\n<p>First responders were seen taking someone out of the library on a stretcher, and a fire alarm was heard going off inside.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/CBSNewYork\/videos\/3986131738382810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">video from Chopper 2 shows a large crowd of protesters gathering outside the library<\/a>, apparently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/newyork\/video\/demonstrators-gather-outside-columbia-university-library\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">trying to push their way inside<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Shipman said two Columbia public safety officers were injured &#8220;during a crowd surge when individuals attempted to force their way into the building and into Room 301.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Columbia University<\/h2>\n<p>It was all happening while the school is in a pre-final exams reading week.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;While this is isolated to one room in the library, it is completely unacceptable that some individuals are choosing to disrupt academic activities as our students are studying and preparing for final exams. These disruptions of our campus and academic activities will not be tolerated. Individuals found to be in violation of University Rules and policies will face disciplinary consequences.
