      I would doubt that. It seems rare that professors are getting engaged. Not unheard of but it’s a small portion of the overall protestors. A question worth asking though

        Pure speculation, but I could also easily see it just being kids from other nearby schools that heard about a protest at Columbia and rode the subway up from NYU, or CUNY, or any number of schools in the area. Technically outsiders at that point, but I wouldn’t really consider them as such.
