Can confirm. Multiple of our faculty members bringing in large food orders were asked questions at the gates.
In an effort to wear down the steadfast students of the Gaza Encampment, Columbia is now prohibiting folks visibly carrying food from entering campus.
Rather than divest from a state that systematically starves the population it occupies, the Uni is trying to act more like it.

- Columbia's task force on antisemitism does not have a definition of antisemitism, shouts down Jewish students facing harassment for their pro Palestinian views, and the university has still not held anyone accountable for the chemical attacks on campus.
NEW: 48 days since students were attacked at a Columbia rally for Gaza. Perpetrators still at large.

on histories of student activism at Barnard & Columbia, the unprecedented levels of student disciplining, and how Columbia's conflict of interest means it can no longer adjudicate such hearings.
Now more than ever, universities should be protecting & defending their unique role in society as places that can generate and hold engagement with the complex histories and politics that lay below the surface of the current violence in Israel and Gaza.
