NANCY CHEN: From coast-to-coast, campus to campus, protests are growing louder in solidarity. Students are also joining in at UC Berkeley.

MALAK AFANEH: Quite frankly, I think it's important that people start to align themselves with the Palestinian resistance.

CHEN: Here at Columbia University, the seventh day of protests. Demonstrators want the school to divest from all business that supports Israel.

STUDENT: I think it's time to divest from those weapons manufacturing and re-divest(sic) them into other important things.

CHEN: They are also demanding amnesty for all students who have been punished. 

Is the goal to stay here until those demands are met?

STUDENT: Yes.

CHEN: And as you can see behind me, demonstrators both on and off campus are still demanding to be heard. Meanwhile, there are growing calls for the university's president to resign.
