A Barnard faculty member was caught in a verbal clash with a student as pro-Palestine protesters occupied the college’s Milbank Hall on Wednesday, February 26.Footage captured by David Lederer shows him arguing with the female faculty member standing outside Milbank Hall as students remained in the building.“You all closed down the building, and you all cancelled classes. So don’t do this stuff about disturbance when you all are the reason for it,” the woman is heard saying at the beginning of the footage.When Lederer confronts her later in the footage, asking her whether she supported the reported “assault of a safety officer earlier,” she asks him what he supports and questions the “framing” of Lederer’s question.“What I support really isn’t a question,” she says. “It’s whether you support a genocide, whether you support an administration that expels students with obscure, occulted, unaccountable forms.”She then says that, “Those students in there are taking risks.”According to Columbia Students for Justice in Palestine, the demontrators requested the “immediate reversal” of the expulsions of two Barnard College students and a public meeting with Barnard President Laura Rosenbury and Dean Leslie Grinage.Columbia University called the disruption unacceptable, clarifying that Columbia University was “not responsible for security at Barnard College.”More protests were scheduled for Thursday, the Columbia University Apartheid Divest (CUAD) announced.
