Reported as "not US politics", I'd note that despite the name "Columbia University" is, in fact, in the United States.
lol, I was wondering whether or not school administrations were going to take care of these protests, or let them ruin the semester like they did last time
The administration is certainly trying to ruin the semester again, you're right
The darn administration with their courses and classtimes! Disrupting the semester with education when that time should be spent on political activism! /s
It's completely fine to protest in favor of your favorite political cause, but it's a school. You can't be camping outside (which leads to lots of trash getting disposed to carelessly, which harms to environment) or keeping other students from going to class.
The students concerned over this issue should be taking gap years and protesting outside the school instead of disrupting the education of others.
