– Jacksonville police responded to a Thursday night protest at the University of North Florida. This comes as tensions across the nation are growing at college campuses with some protests turning violent because of the Israel-Hamas war.Thursday’s protest started a little after 10 p.m. with about 25 protestors on the Green, chanting, “Free, free Palestine,” Spinnaker reported.
UNF police were at the protest and the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office also showed up on bikes with face/gas masks. The officers told students to leave or be arrested because the “campus is closed,” Spinnaker said.
“I’d like to remind all Ospreys and guests that UNF prohibits protests or demonstrations inside University buildings and prohibits disruption of scheduled events. Our top priority is ensuring the safety of our entire campus community and our visitors. We are also committed to protecting the First Amendment rights of every student, faculty and staff member.
