A deadline of today has been set for pro-Palestinian protesters inside New York City's Fordham University to disband. Similar to Columbia University, the protesters set up an encampment inside a university building. Last night, police forcibly removed protesters from a Columbia hall after they took control of the building 20 hours earlier.
