We cover the protest encampment at Columbia University in New York, which in the last few hours administrators have threatened with another NYPD police raid and even the National Guard, as Minouche Shafik, the university’s president, presses on with her violent crackdown.

Shafik called the police on her students last week after suspending many of them and expelling them from their housing, prompting the university’s senate to take up a resolution of censure against her that may come to a vote on Wednesday.

We are joined by Mohamed Abdou, a visiting professor at Columbia who is one of three faculty members attacked and smeared during congressional testimony by Shafik last week.

During the testimony, Shafik engaged in a harsh and bitter attack on Abdou, joining hardline pro-Israel lawmakers in distorting his words and vowing that he would never teach at Columbia again.

Nora Barrows-Friedman, Asa Winstanley, Ali Abunimah and Jon Elmer of The Electronic Intifada were joined by Mohamed Abdou, a visiting professor at Columbia University, and Abubaker Abed, contributor and journalist in the Gaza Strip, on the day 201 livestream.
