Columbia University has extended remote classes at its main New York City campus for the rest of term amid tense Gaza war protests that have spread to US colleges nationwide.

The hybrid learning comes as some students have reported antisemitic harassment around Columbia's campus.

Some 133 were arrested on Monday in protests at New York University. Dozens of arrests were also made in rallies at Yale, while Harvard has restricted access to the campus.

Gaza war demonstrations have also cropped up at colleges in the US Midwest and on the West Coast, where one campus has been closed.

    They have a right to protest OUTSIDE of university campuses. The position of Jewish students is intolerable.

  • It is not the quality of the information infrastructure that fascinates the masses. It is the intelligence contained in the content that is put on it.

  • No class, lots of fun outdoor with friends, debt forgiveness on the way, saving money for students and incentive for colleges to raise fees (again). Sorry for those paying for these youngsters' education, (the future of America).
