Universities in the United States with Israel–Hamas war protests in April 2024. Columbia University is marked in red. Other colleges that had encampments are marked in green, and non-encampment protests are marked in blue.

The April 2024 Israel–Hamas war protests on university campuses are a series of demonstrations and protests that began at Columbia University in New York City on April 17, 2024. The protests began in response to a pro-Palestinian campus occupation at Columbia. Authorized by university president Minouche Shafik, the New York City Police Department entered the encampment established by students and conducted mass arrests. Protesters at Columbia have sought for the university to divest from Israel and disassociate with Israeli academic institutions.

The protests began on April 22, when students at several universities on the East Coast — including New York University, Yale University, Emerson College, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Tufts University — began occupying campuses. Protests began emerging throughout the United States in the following days.

In response to the protests, police departments have detained students and university administrators have suspended students. As of April 25, over five hundred students have been arrested.[2]

Background

Protests, including rallies, demonstrations, campaigns, and vigils, relating to the Israel–Hamas war have occurred nationwide across the United States since the start of the conflict on October 7, 2023, occurring in alongside with other Israel–Hamas war protests around the world. Pro-Palestinian protestors criticized US military and diplomatic support to Israel and Israel's invasion of the Gaza Strip and its war conduct, which some called a genocide.[3][4]

Some of the protests are organized by groups such as Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP), founded in 1996 as a progressive Jewish anti-zionist organization, IfNotNow founded during the 2014 Gaza War, and Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), which has over 200 chapters across North America.[5]

Content

Many of the protests are based around students demanding that their schools sever financial ties to Israel and companies involved in the conflict.[6] After several mass arrests the demands have also included amnesty for students and faculty members that were disciplined or fired for protesting. The protests on many of the campuses are created by coalitions of student groups, and largely are independent but some have claimed that they were inspired by other campus protests and all have disavowed violence.[7][8]

Participants are students and faculty of various backgrounds with both Jews and Muslims participating in the protests, which have hosted teach-ins, interfaith prayer and musical performances.[8]

Protests

In California

The Cal Poly Humboldt campus in Northern California was shut down by officials after students occupied a university building and barricaded its entrance.[9]

Encampment at UC Berkeley on April 25, 2024

Student protesters put up more than a dozen tents on Sproul Plaza at University of California, Berkeley, stating they would remain until the university divested from companies involved with the war. University officials pledged to remove protesters who put up tents or "disrupted academic activity" by force.[10]

Significant outrage occurred when USC preemptively canceled Asna Tabassum's valedictorian speech in lieu of safety concerns.[11] Critics pointed out that Asna, who had minored in resistance to genocide, had pro-Palestinian views on her social media and argued she was being censored.[12] Protests were held at the University of Southern California following the cancellation of the planned commencement speech of the school's valedictorian, Asna Tabassum.[13] About 93 people were arrested during the night of April 24, with no reports of injuries.[14] USC later canceled many of its speakers for commencement before canceling the commencement altogether, citing safety concerns.[15]

On April 25, after the mass arrest of protestors at USC the day before, the University of California, Los Angeles chapter of SJP set up a "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" between Powell Library and Royce Hall. Social media posts announcing the encampment directly referenced the arrests at USC, and aerial footage showed about 20 tents and a few hundred protestors.[16]

On April 25, hundreds of people occupied an administration building at UC Santa Barbara. Tents were set up inside the building but no occupation was planned, according to an organizer. No police were present.[17]

In Connecticut

On April 12, at Yale University, ahead of the university's Bulldog Days, when admitted freshmen would be visiting, a group of graduate students conducted a hunger strike to call attention to the university's investment in weapons manufacturers profiting off of the war in Gaza[18]. Students supporting those striking grew daily until reaching critical mass[clarification needed] after the events at Columbia University. Students at Yale University setup an encampment where sixty pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested on April 22 on charges of trespassing.[19][20][21] Yale administrators claimed that arrests were because students failed to leave after a warning that the protest posed "a safety violation".[22][23]

On April 25, an encampment was launched at the University of Connecticut in Storrs. One person was arrested.[24]

In Florida

On April 24, a protest organized by the "UF Divestment Coalition" took place at the Plaza of the Americas at the University of Florida in Gainesville.[25]

In Indiana

On April 25, US Senator Todd Young was being interviewed by Purdue University president Mung Chiang on campus when the event was interrupted by demonstrators. Organizers with Students for Justice in Palestine and Young Democratic Socialists of America quickly set up an encampment. The chief of the Purdue Police claimed the students were not allowed to have tents, but later, a University spokesman claimed that students were allowed to have tents.[39]

At Indiana University, police arrested 33 protesters after an encampment was set up at the Dunn Meadow.[40]

Four officers were reportedly injured with non-life threatening injuries. School administrators stated that the protestors had been warned to leave before hand as the alleyway was not solely owned by the school and that city authorities had threatened to become involved.[14]

A solidarity encampment with at least a dozen tents has appeared at Tufts University.[48][49]

Students at University of Pittsburgh declared a "Liberation Zone" on the lawn outside the Cathedral of Learning and made demands that the University declare and divest from investing in Israel.[65][66] City police and campus police asked the group to move off-campus to nearby Schenley Plaza and the group agreed.[67]

In Texas

Around 100 University of Texas at Dallas students participated in an April 23 occupation of a campus building, holding a sit-in in a hallway near the university president's office.[68][69] That same day, the Texas A&M University chapter of Young Democratic Socialists of America held a march through the Texas A&M campus.[70]

One student called the protest peaceful, until the police presence and called the police and their action an "overreaction."[14]

A photographer with local television station Fox 7 Austin was arrested after reportedly being caught in a scuffle between law enforcement and students on April 24, with the station reposting the viral footage to Twitter, stating their employee was pushed by an officer into another before being thrown to the ground and arrested.[76][6] Another Texas journalist was knocked down and seen bleeding before being handed off to emergency medical staff by police. The officers ended up leaving after a few hours and about 300 demonstrators moved back to sit and chant near the clock tower.[14]

On April 25, charges were dismissed against 46 of those arrested at the UT Austin protest.[77] A university statement said that almost half of the people who were arrested during the protest were not students or staff affiliated with the university and were part of "outside groups”[78][79] That day, a previously planned demonstration by a local Texas State Employees Union chapter, initially intended to protest the anti-DEI legislation SB 17, incorporated additional pro-Palestine protest activity.[80]

Princeton University

On April 22, faculty and staff at Princeton issued a pledge to withhold labor from Columbia University until it meets their demands to reinstate students who were wrongly suspended for protesting, remove the NYPD from Columbia campus and reverse the suspension of two pro-Palestinian student groups.[86] On April 24, plans for a "Princeton Gaza Solidarity Encampment" were intercepted by the conservative leaning National Review.[87] On April 15, about 100 students started an encampment in McCosh Courtyard, declaring "We’re gonna be here until the University divests."

A "Gaza Solidarity Encampment" was spotted on the campus of University of Sydney in Australia.[104]

Controversy

Authorities at NYU have alleged that some participants involved in the protests were without links to the university, and the head of Columbia alleged that tensions on campus were being exploited and increased by individuals not affiliated with the university had joined the protests.[105]

Responses

Domestic

Faculty and staff

Rebecca Karl, a professor at NYU, stated that historically, "there have been a number of confrontations that have been dealt with by universities in ways that stress that we are not a violent institution... I’m personally very concerned".[106]

Organizations

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) executive director Afaf Nasher criticized the use of police force to break up the protests, stating it undermined academic freedom. Civil rights advocates such as the ACLU have raised free speech concerns over the mass arrests that were seen during the protests.[107]

Political

On April 22, President Joe Biden criticized and condemned the protests calling them antisemitic and "those who don't understand what's going on with the Palestinians."[8] Former President Donald Trump, stated that the 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia was "peanuts" comparative to the ongoing protests.[108]

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis described the situation at Columbia and other campuses as "inmates run[ning] the asylum."[109] Texas Governor Greg Abbott, stated that the protestors "belonged in jail" and continued claiming that the protests were "hate-filled, antisemitic protests" and anyone engaging in them should be expelled.[6][110]

Public and students

A Palestinian student at Columbia blamed the University for the protests, stating that they had not felt safe at the University since the start of the war as a "direct result of Columbia's one-sided statements and inaction." While a Jewish Columbia student stated the protests were a result of the Israeli destruction of universities and education in Gaza so they had reclaimed Columbia for Palestine.[107]

International

Israel prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the protests were "horrific", anti-Semitic and must be quelled.[111]
