Pro-Palestinian demonstrations and sit-ins are spreading at universities
across the United States and in several campuses around the world

Columbia University in New York, one of the most prestigious universities
in the US, has emerged as the centre

for student activism since Israel’s war on Gaza began more than six months
ago with protests both in support of the war and against it.

On April 19, more than 100 protesters were arrested

on the campus as police cleared an encampment set up by students.

On April 22, Columbia administrators announced that classes would be held
in hybrid mode until the end of the spring semester.

have students and faculty been arrested?

At least 900 students and faculty members have been arrested in the US over
the past 10 days as protesters continue to demand a ceasefire in Gaza and
divestment from companies enabling Israel’s nearly seven-month war on Gaza.
The protests have grown violent as law enforcement agencies have tried to
remove students and faculty from encampments and protest sites.

Several students have been suspended, put on probation and, in rare cases,
expelled from their colleges.

Momodou Taal was among four students from Cornell University in New York
state who were “temporarily suspended” on Saturday for setting up an
encampment on campus.

He told Al Jazeera the protesting students received threats and were
subjected to doxxing, the posting of their personal information on the
internet without their consent. He said such students received no
protection from their institutions.

Some universities have had to cancel graduation ceremonies while others
have seen their buildings, quadrangles and courtyards occupied by the
protesters and in some cases by encampments.
