Campus Protests Over Israel-Hamas War Lead to Arrests, Sit-ins

Brown University arrests 41 students during sit-in, while Haverford College sit-in ends under threat of disciplinary action.

41 students at Brown University were arrested during a sit-in protest demanding the school divest from Israeli military occupation amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.
The arrests marked the second round of such incidents at Brown in a little over a month, with the university warning of more severe consequences for future disruptions.
At Haverford College, a weeklong sit-in ended under threat of disciplinary action. The students demanded the college president publicly call for a cease-fire in Gaza.
The sit-ins are part of a wider wave of campus protests across the U.S. in response to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
The protests and arrests come amid continuing fallout over the testimony given by leaders of the University of Pennsylvania, Harvard and MIT at a congressional hearing on antisemitism last week.
