## Transcript

We will not be moved unless by force. This is a smokescreen Barack. Chrissy is a prison and the students refuse to trade in the blood of Palestinian. the universe conducted me and Eric and refusing to be flexible on some of their most basic points. That's just we were engaging a good-faith negotiations until the administration cut them up. I'm just write up suspension where we off for amnesty. They gave us more discipline earlier this morning University delegates appeared at the entrance.

The students would be interim suspended losing access to their housing losing access to campus losing Access to Health Care on campus and losing their rights to graduation. If they are a graduating student would like to reiterate that our presence on this encampment was never a security risk and stopped.

It bonded members of the Columbia Community in unprecedented ways on this campus earlier today President should be sent out an email announcing the end of negotiations and two player. That's listen to doctor University. Stardust from Israel in that same email president Sophie claims that we had a constructive dialogue regarding Enchantments and made insincere statement regarding the University's action. The University's negotiations evidence and Elementary understanding of the word boycott and divest which have been at the heart of the student movement and at the heart about enchantments while the administration offered as a timeline for review of divestment proposals, they refused to give us any commitments.

That's the ultimate decision would be binding.
