Barnard College Resolves Suspensions For Protest Participation

LA protest

Barnard College has recently announced that it has reached resolutions with the majority of students who were previously placed on interim suspension for participating in a protest encampment on Columbia's campus. The college wasted no time in restoring full access for these students to residence halls, dining facilities, classrooms, and other parts of the campus, as stated in a release from the school on Friday.

According to a statement from Barnard's Student Government Association, at least 55 Barnard students were placed on interim suspension due to their involvement in the protest encampment at Columbia. However, Barnard College has chosen not to disclose the exact number of students who were suspended.

This development comes after a period of uncertainty and tension surrounding the disciplinary actions taken against the students involved in the protest encampment. The restoration of access for the majority of these students signifies a step towards resolving the situation and allowing them to resume their academic and residential activities on campus.

It remains to be seen how this recent development will impact the ongoing dialogue between the students, the college administration, and other stakeholders involved in the protest encampment. As the situation continues to evolve, it is likely that further discussions and actions will be taken to address the underlying issues that led to the protest and subsequent suspensions.

Overall, the resolution of the interim suspensions at Barnard College represents a significant development in the aftermath of the protest encampment at Columbia's campus, signaling a potential shift towards reconciliation and dialogue between the college and its students.
