Columbia finally punishes anti-Israel rioters over violent library takeover, slaps dozens of students with multi-year suspensions, expulsions

Dozens of anti-Israel rabble-rousers were slapped with hefty suspensions and a handful were fully expelled after they took part in the violent takeover of a campus library earlier this year, sources familiar have told The Post.

More than 70 students are set to be punished over their involvement in the hugely disruptive Butler Library chaos that unfolded on May 7, the sources familiar with the disciplinary action said.

Roughly two-thirds of those will be hit with suspensions between one and three years, with the majority being hit with two-year suspensions, the sources said.

Reps for Columbia did not immediately reply to requests for additional comment.
