Two Barnard College students in New York City have been expelled for their alleged roles in disrupting the first session of the History of Modern Israel course last month.
The expulsions were made public by the Columbia University Apartheid Divest, a group that calls on Columbia University to divest from any association with Israel. Barnard and Columbia are affiliated institutions.
In a post on X, the group said the Barnard administration has historically been hostile to those in support of Palestine while “wielding harsh disciplinary sentences against protestors to stifle dissent in an attempt to erase their complicity.”
“These former students disrupted a class, handed out antisemitic flyers, and harassed students who only wanted to learn. These individuals don’t belong on campus – and now they won’t be,” he wrote Sunday on X.
