Columbia Reaches Deal with Anti-Israel Student Protesters

YouTube, @NewsNation.

Columbia University has reached a deal with students protesting the war in Gaza.  The anti-Israel protesters are calling for the Ivy League school to divest from any financial interests with Israel, and have set up a large tent city on school grounds. 

Columbia on Tuesday set a midnight deadline for protesters to disband, or it would consider what it called alternative options to clear the tents. 

Early Wednesday morning, a statement from Columbia said the protesters had agreed to remove some of the tents and to bar harassing language among the students, delaying possible police action for at least 48 hours
