V Spear: 哥伦比亚大学学生发起的抗议活动并非简单的"学生闹事"，而是针对特定公司和机构（如BlackRock、Airbnb、Caterpillar和Google）的政治抗议，其诉求已成为全国其他校园抗议的模板。抗议的核心诉求包括：从与以色列有联系的企业撤资；抵制以色列大学；反对在哈莱姆、莱纳普霍金和巴勒斯坦的"土地掠夺"；校园内不允许警察；以及对所有抗议学生的赦免。这些诉求并非随意提出，而是经过深思熟虑，并且在哥伦比亚大学的历史上，学生抗议曾成功促使学校在类似问题上做出改变。 Sammy Sage: 哥伦比亚大学处理学生抗议的方式不当，应该与学生对话而非直接动用警力。学校应该参考以往成功的学生抗议案例，例如1985年成功促使学校撤资南非种族隔离企业的案例。学校的回应方式不仅激化了矛盾，也导致抗议活动蔓延到全国其他高校。 Sammy Sage: 大学抗议活动应该主要由学生主导，外部人士的参与可能会影响学校对学生诉求的重视程度。
