Columbia students denied access to dining halls, food as pro-terror rioters force campus lockdown

Furious Columbia University students said they were being denied access to dining halls and food on Tuesday after violent pro-terror rioters broke into an academic building and forced the Ivy League campus into lockdown.

Only students residing in dorms on the Morningside Heights campus and “essential” staff were being allowed in as of Tuesday morning, Columbia officials said — just hours after masked anti-Israel protesters seized the Hamilton Hall building.

“They’re turning us away,” a frustrated Taylor Francisco, 26, told The Post.

“We’re low-income students. We rely on Columbia dining service to eat, especially at the end of the semester,” she added. “I just want to eat to sustain my brain while I do my work.”

Sam, a 23-year-old bachelor of arts student, said he too was denied breakfast because he lives in Columbia housing just across the street.

“I just woke up. I want breakfast,” he said after being blocked by campus security. “I have to call my family and try to get some money for food.”
