They smashed windows, unfurled banners and created a makeshift system to deliver food to demonstrators who, as of this evening, still remain inside. This afternoon, university officials announced that students involved in the building’s occupation would face expulsion. Columbia closed the entire Manhattan campus to everyone except students who live in dorms there and employees who provide essential services. The arrests of protesters there about two weeks ago helped set off a cascade of campus activism.
