I can confirm that even faculty IDs are deactivated at Columbia today, and that it is impossible to access the buildings without security escort.

BREAKING: White House statement on anti-Israel protests at Columbia University:
“While every American has the right to peaceful protect, calls for violence and physical intimidation targeting Jewish students and the Jewish community are blatantly Antisemitic, unconscionable, and dangerous – they have absolutely no place on any college campus, or anywhere in the United States of America. And echoing the rhetoric of terrorist organizations, especially in the wake of the worst massacre committed against the Jewish people since the Holocaust, is despicable. We condemn these statements in the strongest terms.”
-Andrew Bates, White House Deputy Press Secretary
