Protests at U.S. universities showed no sign of slowing over the weekend, with more arrests on campuses across the country and skirmishes between pro-Israeli and pro-Palestinian demonstrators at UCLA, where a tent encampment was set up last week.
LOS ANGELES, April 28 -
Members of both factions shoved one another and shouted slogans and insults, and in some cases traded punches. Pushing and shoving persisted for some time among pockets of demonstrators, but campus police armed with batons eventually separated the sparring groups. Los Angeles police were not involved in quelling the disturbance, a representative of the campus police said, and no arrests had been made.
Administrators, including those of Columbia, have said the protests, as unauthorized, break school rules, disrupt learning and have fostered harassment and antisemitism. The Columbia campus was peaceful on Saturday, a school spokesman said, but crackdowns took place at a handful of other campuses.
