According to a law enforcement official speaking to CNN, it has been revealed that a significant portion of the demonstrators present on the Columbia University campus are not actually affiliated with the university. The number of protesters on campus seems to fluctuate, with estimates ranging from 250 to 400 individuals, depending on the ongoing activities.
Despite the varying numbers, there has been no formal request from Columbia University for assistance from the New York Police Department. However, law enforcement teams across the city are reportedly on standby, ready to intervene once the university signals the need for their support.
