The university president is Minouche Shafik

Shafik authorizes NYPD to sweep "Gaza Solidarity Encampment," officers in riot gear arrest over 100

All students identified as being involved in the encampment have also been suspended, Shafik wrote to the NYPD.

She and not the NYPD called the demonstration a "clear and present danger." And the NYPD police chief - of all people - implied she overreacted.

Chief John Chell said that it was Shafik, not the NYPD, who identified the demonstration as a “clear and present danger.”

“To put this in perspective, the students that were arrested were peaceful, offered no resistance whatsoever, and were saying what they wanted to say in a peaceful manner,” Chell said at the conference.
