Pro-Palestine students at Barnard College stormed Milbank Hall during a protest on February 26, resulting in the assault of a staff member who was later hospitalized. The group, donning masks, demanded justice for recent expulsions linked to a contentious Israeli history class. They remained in the hall throughout the night despite warnings from the administration. The NYPD stood ready to assist if necessary, and following nighttime protests, the students marched to Riverside Park to continue their demonstration, reinforcing their demands for amnesty and reversal of disciplinary actions.
