Here's what's happening on U.S. campuses as student protests against Israel's war in Gaza grow
University students face arrests amid calls for ceasefire, demands to stop support for Israel

Some U.S. universities called in police to break up demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war, resulting in ugly scuffles and dozens of arrests, while others appeared content to wait out student protests Thursday, as the final days of the semester ticked down and graduation ceremonies loomed.
Student protest have popped up on an increasing number of college campuses following last week's arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University.
The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel's military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself.
Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups and largely act independently, though students say they're inspired by peers at other universities.

Although many students will soon leave for the summer break, school officials worry that any ongoing protests could disrupt May commencement ceremonies, while some Jewish students say the protests have veered into antisemitism and made them afraid to set foot on campus.
Here is a look at the protests, and response to the demonstrations, on some U.S. campuses in recent days.
Columbia set stage for national protests
Protesters set up a tent encampment at the Ivy League university in New York last week.
A group of negotiators representing the protesters has been meeting intermittently with university administrators since Friday to discuss their demands, which include cutting financial ties with Israel and the companies involved in the war in Gaza, as well as amnesty for students and staff facing discipline for participating in the protests.

Those talks broke down on Tuesday night, according to the lead negotiator, Mahmoud Khalil, after he said the university threatened to send in police and the National Guard if the encampment wasn't gone by midnight.
Hundreds of students and faculty quickly packed onto the lawn in the largest numbers since the start of the demonstration.
Overnight, the university backtracked, giving demonstrators a 48-hour extension if the group agreed to block non-students from the encampment and remove a certain number of tents.

A spokesperson later denied that the university had suggested calling the National Guard.
While there have been confrontations and allegations of antisemitic activity outside the university's gates, police described students inside the encampment as peaceful and compliant.
Police first tried to clear the encampment last Thursday, when they arrested more than 100 protesters.
But the move backfired, acting as an inspiration for other students across the country and motivating protesters at Columbia to regroup.
U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson visited Columbia on Wednesday to meet with Jewish students over concerns about antisemitism on college campuses. Johnson said Israel and Jewish students on campus will not stand alone.

Emory protest entwined with 'Cop City' activism
Atlanta police and Georgia state troopers dismantled a camp on Emory University's quadrangle Thursday morning, with Associated Press journalists counting at least 17 people detained.
When officers in tactical gear began detaining people, some submitted, but others physically pushed back.
Those who were detained were handcuffed with zip ties and loaded into a police transport van. Video shows officers at least once used an electrical stun gun on a protester who was handcuffed on the ground.

Officers deployed rubber bullets and tear gas to break apart pro-Palestinian protests at Emory University in Atlanta. Protesters were seen struggling against officers' attempts to wrestle them to the ground and multiple people were detained by law enforcement.
University police had ordered several dozen demonstrators who set up tents on the campus early Thursday morning to leave, according to Emory spokesperson Laura Diamond.
She said in an email to The Associated Press that the group "trespassed" onto the private school.
"These individuals are not members of our community," Diamond said. "They are activists attempting to disrupt our university as our students finish classes and prepare for finals."

A long line of officers surrounded the encampment of about three dozen tents after 9:30 a.m. on Thursday, as protesters chanted slogans supporting Palestinians and opposing a public safety training centre being built in Atlanta.
The two movements are closely entwined in Atlanta, where there has been years of "Stop Cop City" activism that has included a fringe of anarchist attacks on property and the killing by state troopers of a protester who was occupying the site.
Police, protesters face off at University of Texas
The University of Texas campus was much calmer on Thursday, a day after a demonstration saw police and state troopers in riot gear and on horseback make dozens of arrests and forced hundreds of students off the school's main lawn.
On Thursday, university officials pulled back the campus barricades and allowed another demonstration on the main square underneath the school's iconic clock tower in central campus.

While the group was vocal with chants and angry shouts against Israel and campus leadership, the demonstration was far less volatile.

Officers pushed their way into the crowd and made 34 arrests at the behest of the university and Texas Gov. Gregg Abbott, according to the state Department of Public Safety.
Dane Urquhart, a third-year Texas student, called the police presence and arrests an "overreaction," adding that the protest "would have stayed peaceful" if the officers had not turned out in force.
"Because of all the arrests, I think a lot more [demonstrations] are going to happen," Urquhart said.
In a statement Wednesday night, the university's president, Jay Hartzell, said: "Our rules matter, and they will be enforced. Our University will not be occupied."

USC cancels graduation event amid protests
The University of Southern California cancelled its main stage graduation ceremony Thursday as college officials across the U.S. worried that ongoing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war could disrupt May commencement ceremonies.
USC announced the cancellation of the May 10 ceremony a day after more than 90 protesters were arrested on campus Wednesday night for trespassing, while one person was arrested for alleged assault with a deadly weapon.

Northwestern changes rules to block encampments
Northwestern University hastily changed its student code of conduct Thursday morning to bar tents on its suburban Chicago campus as anti-war student activists set up an encampment similar to Pro-Palestinian demonstrations at colleges nationwide.
Groups including Jewish Voice for Peace and Educators for Justice in Palestine said the encampment on the Evanston, Ill., campus was "a safe space for those who want to show their support of the Palestinian people."

Dozens participated as University President Michael Schill issued an email saying the university had enacted an "interim addendum" to its student code to bar tents, among other things, and warned of disciplinary actions including suspension, expulsion and criminal charges.
"The goal of this addendum is to balance the right to peacefully demonstrate with our goal to protect our community, to avoid disruptions to instruction and to ensure university operations can continue unabated," Schilling said.
No arrests had been made by Thursday mid-afternoon.

Video taken by a witness and confirmed by local reporters captured the moment Noëlle McAfee, the chair of Emory University’s philosophy department, was dragged from a pro-Palestine campus protest in handcuffs Thursday evening—as she called on a student to let her peers know she’d been arrested.
McAfee, who’s also the president-elect of the Emory University Senate, can be heard calling out to a stranger—who recorded the whole ordeal—and telling him she was merely observing the protest and was not participating.
While McAfee spoke, she was dragged in the opposite direction down a sidewalk by an officer who’d concealed his face with a balaclava. The onlooker recording repeatedly told her he was sorry as she was whisked away.
Emory, in Atlanta, was the site of some of the nastiest clashes between protesters and students nationwide Thursday, with clips spreading online of mass arrests, of cops using a stun gun on a restrained demonstrator, and of police firing non-lethal rounds to corral protesters.
The prestigious private university, which ranks in the top 25 in U.S. News and World Report’s annual rankings, was among dozens of colleges across the country that have held demonstrations against Israel’s brutal campaign in the Gaza Strip—and their schools’ investments in arms manufacturers providing the nation with weapons.
Protests have exploded nationwide since a violent clash at Columbia University last week, where the NYPD was dispatched to shut down a massive on-campus tent city—just for it to be rebuilt days later.
In Atlanta, protesters railed against the police response at Emory, describing it as overkill. Caleb Bunch, a junior at the university, told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he witnessed a Georgia State Patrol officer ride a motorcycle into the quad of protesters to disperse them.
“It’s a little alarming,” he said. “I don’t really understand why it’s necessary to have GSP be here, especially riding in on motorcycle.”
Tara Doyle, a lecturer in the school’s theology department, agreed. She told the paper she was “disappointed” that her employer would unleash “heavy-handed, unnecessary violence against our students.”
In total, 23 people were arrested on charges of disorderly conduct, obstruction of law enforcement officers, or other charges, reported the Journal-Constitution.
Cops defended their response, telling the paper “there wasn’t anything peaceful about what was going on” with the approximately two dozen who were arrested. Emory also had police’s back, writing in a statement that protesters had pushed campus cops as part of their demonstration and set up tents in an area that was needed for commencement set-up.
Emory said one demonstrator—who was not affiliated with the university—attacked an officer and “was tased,” the Journal-Constitution reported.
The Georgia State Patrol confirmed it used “pepper balls” to disperse the crowd, but denied using tear gas.
Jail records did not show McAfee as being arrested or charged, and she did not respond to a request for comment from The Daily Beast. Statements from police and the university did not address the arrest of McAfee.
