Columbia University suspended media access to campus "as a safety measure" Tuesday morning, just hours after student protesters stormed a campus building, barricaded the entrance, and hoisted an "intifada" banner.

"Media access to campus is suspended," Columbia's Office of Public Affairs announced in a 9 a.m. statement. "Campus is accessible only to CUID-holders and essential personnel as a safety measure and that includes media."
