It very much depends on the school. Some they have basically no power, but at some they have binding powers. I’m pretty sure Columbia is the latter but I’m not that familiar with it.
Even the schools that pretend to have binding/meaningful senates, there’s usually a presidential veto that ultimately works for the board of trustees (the biggest Zionists in the school system). There was a college in California where students and staff voted twice in the last 5 years to divest from Israel and were vetoed both times
