    City officials said 29% of the 112 people arrested at a protest at Columbia on Tuesday were not affiliated with the school. At the City College protest, 60% of the 170 arrested were not affiliated with the school, according to the city’s press release.

    “Not students” isn’t as informative as “not affiliated with the school”.

    In that light, the numbers reported are much different between the two colleges and the headline should reflect that.
