Student protests over the Israel-Hamas war have escalated on numerous college campuses in the wake of the recent arrest of over 100 demonstrators at Columbia University. The protests have led to clashes with police at some universities, with one campus even closing for the remainder of the week.
Students are advocating for universities to disassociate from companies supporting Israel's military actions in Gaza and, in some instances, from Israel itself. These protests have been coordinated by coalitions of student groups, drawing inspiration from similar movements at other universities.
