Protests and encampments have sprung up on college and university campuses across the country to protest the war.

"It quickly became clear through the words and actions of this group that they did not have good intentions," the statement read."When the group began to set up a camp in violation of university policy, we made the decision to tell everyone present that they needed to leave." More than two hundred miles away at Indiana University, campus police and Indiana State Police arrested 23 protesters at 12:35 p.m. Saturday. A group set up"unapproved temporary or permanent structures" on the campus's Dunn Meadow and then refused to leave, according to a university statement obtained by NPR.

Despite these four mass arrests on Saturday, pro-Palestinian protests are set continue across the country. In New Brunswick, New Jersey, members of the Rutgers University chapter of Students for Justice in Palestine plan to rally Monday afternoon and demand university divestment, according to a release obtained by NPR.
