The arrests at Yale come days after more than 100 people were arrested at protests on Columbia University’s campus.
More than 40 pro-Palestinian protesters were reportedly arrested Monday morning at Yale University in the latest instance of campus protests over the war in Gaza facing crackdowns. that 47 students protesting the school’s investments in military weapons manufacturers were arrested at Beinecke Plaza and will be referred for disciplinary action, potentially including suspension.
The school said it made repeated efforts over the weekend to talk to protesters, offered them meetings with trustees and warned of arrests before the Monday morning action. “The university made the decision to arrest those individuals who would not leave the plaza with the safety and security of the entire Yale community in mind and to allow access to university facilities by all members of our community,” Yale leadership said.
By 10 a.m., those protesters had been released and coalesced at College and Grove streets, where New Haven police were blocking traffic to ensure their safety, New Haven police spokesman Christian Bruckhart told The Washington Post. He added that most, if not all, of the protesters appeared to be university students.
