Summary

Columbia University started suspending students who refused to comply with a deadline to vacate the pro-Palestinian encampment on campus. Meanwhile, Cornell University said it was suspending student protesters who declined to move to an alternate location. Anderson speaks to Columbia student and CNN Freelancer John Towfighi and Harvard Univerisy President Emeritus Lawrence Summers to get their take on how the protests have been handled by school leaders and police so far. Plus, in a CNN exclusive, David Culver traveled to Haiti and made the dangerous journey into one gang's territory to interview their leader. The gang leader is one of many accused of helping destabilize the nation and is on the FBI's Ten “Most Wanted” list. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
