Dozens of student protesters at Columbia University gathered outside early Friday afternoon, just across from where their tent encampment had been demolished by university officials the day before.
Some students had been there through the night.
Others, including a few who had been arrested Thursday, had only recently arrived.
“You are erasing the line between education and politics,” he told them.
“It is a new phase in this mobilization.”A day after Columbia’s president, Nemat Shafik, called in the police to arrest some 100 students and take down their encampment, the activists showed little sign of losing steam.
