More than a week after its formation, the "Gaza Solidarity" tent encampment at Columbia University lives on, with school president Minouche Shafik letting her 48-hour deadline to clear the area slide without taking action against student protesters.

Student protesters celebrated another night in the encampment late Thursday with chants of "There is only one solution, intifada revolution" and "Long live the intifada." Those chants came just hours before the university's 48-hour deadline to clear the encampment was set to expire. ...

"There is a rumor that the NYPD has been invited to campus this evening," the school said. "This rumor is false."

The student group coalition behind the protest, Columbia University Apartheid Divest, celebrated the announcement in an Instagram post with the caption "NO SWEEP TONIGHT."
