We have been made aware of possible plans to establish encampments on Columbia's campuses. We want to clearly communicate that camping and encampments on Columbia's campuses are prohibited by University Policy.

A more detailed explanation of how an encampment as a form of protest runs the risk of serious violations under the Rules of University Conduct can be found here.
