Over 1,700 alumni have pledged to withhold support for Columbia unless demands including divestment, amnesty for students, support for the Harlem community, and President Shafik’s removal are met.

A group of Columbia and Barnard alumni have formed a new committee to boycott the University’s scheduled May 31 and June 1 reunions. The group will create an alternate event and send funds from ticket sales and donations to organizations providing aid in Palestine.

In an email early this morning, Co-Chair of the USenate Student Affairs Committee Art Benoit announced that “eligible students” can now access a Columbia alumni directory boasting over 350,000 alumni members from around the world.
