    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    News outlets gave daily coverage to Columbia University after administrators called in the New York City Police Department to arrest the student protesters.

    There was comparatively little attention to another savage crackdown just uptown at the City College of New York, even though students at the working-class public university received harsher charges than those at the Ivy League school.

    Across the country, in another coastal megacity, media fixated on an attack by supporters of Israel against a student protest at University of California, Los Angeles, a school considered a top-flight “public Ivy.”

    The focus on elite, coastal universities has overshadowed the breadth of the brutal police crackdowns and impunity for attacks on pro-Palestinian demonstrators.

    Police fired a gun inside a building at Columbia, and cops stood back while the pro-Israel protesters launched fireworks into the encampment at UCLA.

    University President Eric Kaler said that demonstrators had added antisemitic language to protest art on campus and that the contractors were directed to paint them over.
