Approximately 134 of the 282 people taken into custody at Columbia University and CCNY were not affiliated with either school -- more than 47%.
Janice Yu is live in Morningside Heights with details on the pro-Palestine protest.
At Columbia, 32 people arrested were not affiliated with the school, while about 80 people were. At CCNY, 102 people arrested were not affiliated, and 68 were.The estimates are based on preliminary background analysis by NYPD.

For some, the term "outside agitator" brings back memories of the Civil Rights movement. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. famously wrote about being called an outside agitator in the now-historic letter from the Birmingham jail in April 1963.
