🚨BREAKING: CUAD has announced that ~80 students received 1-3 year suspensions or expulsions for violently taking over Butler Library. This is a strong move from @Columbia. We hope that repeat offenders were expelled and that Columbia will continue to take discipline seriously. pic.twitter.com/sRE5xUL8im

Columbia University has disciplined over 70 students for participating in two student-led protests, a source familiar with the matter said.
The university confirmed in a statement Tuesday that it was punishing students who participated in the protest at the school’s Butler Library, where at least 80 people were detained, as well as a similar demonstration during its annual alumni weekend last year.
Columbia said it would not release the “individual disciplinary results of any student” but said that “sanctions from Butler Library include probation, suspensions (ranging from one year to three years), degree revocations, and expulsions.”
