US Universities Grapple with Gaza Protest Tensions

Tensions at Universities

Tensions flared between pro-Palestinian student protesters and school administrators at several United States universities on Monday. In-person classes were canceled, and demonstrators were arrested.

Spread of Protests

The protests began at Columbia University, where demonstrators established a Gaza Solidarity Encampment. The movement has spread to other campuses, including Yale University, MIT, and more.

Concerns of Jewish Students

Some Jewish students at Columbia reported intimidation and anti-Semitism during the protests. The demonstrators are urging the university to divest from companies with ties to Israel.

University Response

Classes were moved online, and university president Nemat Shafik called for a “reset” in an open letter to the school community. She addressed the intimidating behavior on campus and emphasized that all classes would be held virtually on Monday.

Student Voices

Mimi Elias, a social work student who was arrested, expressed determination for their demands to be heard. Joseph Howley, an associate professor, criticized the involvement of police, stating that discipline is not the solution to community disagreements.

Disciplinary Actions

Protests and arrests occurred at various universities, including Yale, where individuals were arrested for refusing to disperse. Harvard University suspended the Palestinian Solidarity Committee for holding an unregistered demonstration.

National Debate

Universities have become focal points of debate following recent events in Gaza. President Joe Biden condemned anti-Semitic protests and called for understanding of the Palestinian situation.
