Police surrounded a pro-Palestinian encampment early Sunday at the University of Southern California, days before commencement events are set to begin on
the Los Angeles campus.
At the University of Virginia, 25 people were arrested Saturday for trespassing after police clashed with pro-Palestinian protesters who refused to remove tents from campus, and demonstrators at the University of Michigan chanted anti-war messages and waved flags during commencement ceremonies. A university representative read a statement nearby the encampment Saturday saying that it had to come down, according to Annenberg Media, saying the encampment and unspecified acts of vandalism and theft of university property violated the law.
Tent encampments of protesters calling on universities to stop doing business with Israel or companies they say support the war in Gaza have spread across campuses nationwide in a student movement unlike any other this century. Some schools have reached agreements with protesters to end the demonstrations and reduce the possibility of disrupting final exams and commencements.
Overhead, planes flew banners with competing messages. “Divest from Israel now! Free Palestine!” and “We stand with Israel. Jewish lives matter.”
