29% of 112 and 60% of 170 is 134, which is 47.7% of the total. Math checks out.

Yeah, but the context matters. Columbia is the one that's been leading news stories, received the bulk of the commentary about "outsides agitators", and had some of the more extreme policing just occur that they're trying to justify.

This isn't just math. The language can be interpreted multiple ways.

I'd also argue that affiliated doesn't mean student.
