This market is on the ongoing pro-Palestinian protests at Columbia University, located on the West Lawn in front of Butler Library. 

This market will resolve to “Yes” if the majority of protesters (as of April 24 10 AM ET) are cleared from the West Lawn at any point between April 24, 2024, 10:00 AM ET, and Friday, April 26, 2024, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No”. 

The term 'cleared' includes any action where the majority of protesters are forcibly removed or voluntarily leave the area.  The clearing of protesters which took place on April 18, when dozens of protesters were arrested would qualify for a “Yes” resolution. 

The resolution source for this market will be a consensus of credible reporting.

Outcome: No
