Collins also asked Adams if he had a “breakdown” from his office or the NYPD on how many of those arrested Tuesday were actually Columbia University students.
“This is what we can do, this is what we are allowed to do,” Adams said. “We will provide the school with a complete list of those arrested and the school will make a decision. We will not release the names of the students, but the school will make the decision providing a breakdown of the differences between students and non-students. They should have the authority to do so.”
