Protests over Israel's war in Gaza roil some U.S. campuses

Police arrested dozens of people at pro-Palestinian demonstrations at Yale University in Connecticut and New York University in Manhattan on Monday, as the war in Gaza continued to reverberate through U.S. university campuses.NYPD officers face protesters after detaining demonstrators and clearing an encampment set up by pro-Palestinian students and protesters on the campus of New York University late Monday, in protest of the Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.

Massachusetts Institute of Technology students take part in a Muslim prayer with others on Monday, at an encampment of tents at MIT, in Cambridge, Mass. Students at MIT set up the encampment to protest what they said was MIT's failure to call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and to cut ties to Israel's military.

A sign is seen on a gate to Harvard University to prevent encampments from being set up on their property in Cambridge, Mass. Protests on the applicable campuses have in some cases closed buildings and led to virtual classes. NYPD officers clear away tents from an encampment set up by pro-Palestinian students and protesters on the campus of New York University on Monday night in Manhattan. Protests at Yale, Columbia, NYU and other university campuses across the nation began in response to the escalation of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, following the deadly cross-border raid by Hamas militants on Oct. 7 and Israel's fierce response in the Gaza enclave controlled by Hamas.

The school said the encampment violated rules. Police arrested more than 100 students from Columbia on Thursday on charges of trespassing. Columbia and the affiliated Barnard College have suspended dozens of students involved in the protests. More than 100 Columbia faculty joined students on Monday in solidarity at the encampment, where an outdoor seder was planned to mark the first day of the Jewish Passover holiday.
