Columbia University says it has expelled or suspended some students who took over a campus building during pro-Palestinian protests in Spring 2024 and temporarily revoked the diplomas of some students who have since graduated.

The arrest of pro-Palestinian organizer Mahmoud Khalil has become a flashpoint on the rights of legal U.S. residents and free speech.

Columbia University on Thursday said it had doled out a range of punishments to students who occupied a campus building last spring during pro-Palestinian protests. The announcement came a week after President Donald Trump's administration announced that it had canceled $400 million in federal grants and contracts in response to what it said was the Ivy League school's poor response to antisemitism on campus.

President Donald Trump's administration has urged a judge to dismiss Columbia University student Mahmoud Khalil's challenge to his immigration arrest, or alternatively move the case out of New York, as the pro-Palestinian activist's lawyers fight for his release.
