About half of the total number arrested Tuesday during protests at Columbia University and City College of New York were unaffiliated with those schools, the mayor’s office said.

New data released Thursday shows that about 60% — or 102 of 170 — arrested at City College during the disbandment of a pro-Palestinian encampment were not affiliated with the school.

At Columbia, 32 of the 112 arrested were unaffiliated with the school, police data show.

City Hall spokesperson Kayla Mamelak said unaffiliated means “not teachers, students or administration of the school.”

The NYPD had previously reported 109 arrests at Columbia and 173 arrests at CCNY.

The charges against those arrested include burglary, obstructing governmental administration, criminal mischief, resisting arrest, trespassing and disorderly conduct.

The recently released numbers shed light on Mayor Eric Adams and police officials’ claims of “outside agitators.”

“We don’t need outside agitators on our college campuses hijacking the democratic right, democracy we have in this country, right to protest,” Adams said on “Morning’s On 1.”

Meanwhile, Gov. Kathy Hochul also weighed in on the use of police to clear college campuses on Thursday.

She said the situation was handled professionally.

“There had been vandalism, destruction of property, breaking of windows, destruction. The building was basically trashed inside that violates laws,” Hochul said. “Certainly, when the NYPD went in, it was a challenging dynamic, but it was done as professionally as one would expect in that circumstance.”

Schools Chancellor David Banks also applauded the police response.

The chancellor, who has no formal ties to either school, revealed that he was at both Columbia and City College Tuesday night when the police moved in.

“It never looks good when you see [the] police in riot gear. That can be a little intimidating for anybody, but what I saw was conducted as a very professional exercise. It was swift, it was to the point, folks were arrested, and I think the good thing was that no one was hurt,” Banks said.

When asked why he was at the campuses, he said, “I seek to be the leader of the people. You cannot do that behind the closed walls of tweed. Some of those students at Columbia come from our schools.”
