The facilities worker who has claimed to have been held hostage - was asked to leave- but he didn’t want to go, according to the interviewee. Will have to see if they release the video of that encounter.

#wkcr is reporting that they have been locked out of their station. They are playing a prerecorded message relayed in by a remote computer.
They are supposed to be covering the arraignment of arrested #ColumbiaUniversity protestors this morning but have no access to their equipment or station.
They are generously referring to this lockout as a mistake by #columbia and not an attempt to shut down their #journalism coverage.
Need to keep an ear on them today.
UPDATE:: see post below

#wkcr is reporting a big protest just outside #columbia campus at 116/Amsterdam protesting the continued #nypd presence on campus
“We want justice

Get those cops off campus now

We want justice

Unsuspend our students now”
