Forty years after rallying against the proposed construction of the Morningside gym, alumni of the 1968 demonstrations returned to protest something else: the Manhattanville expansion.

Given the resistance Columbia has faced among vocal activists in West Harlem, some might have seen City Council’s approval of Columbia’s expansion into Manhattanville as a feat of spin doctor magic.

The New York City Planning Commission will vote on Columbia’s proposal to rezone Manhattanville and Community Board 9’s plan for the area’s future at a meeting today.

The hunger strike that has waged on for more than a week ended Friday night following a request made by the Coalition to Preserve Community for the strikers to pull their final demands off of the table.
