Campus Protests Intensify as Police Intervene

Columbia University Cleared by Police

Arrests Made, Tensions High at Major US Universities

Pro-Palestinian protests have erupted at major US universities, leading to police intervention and arrests. On Tuesday evening, New York police arrested dozens of people on two campuses as police cleared out a Columbia University protest.

The protests at Columbia and other schools have escalated in recent days, with students demanding action from university administrations on various issues related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Columbia University is grappling with the fallout from its president's promise to Congress that the university would take steps to address antisemitism on campus. The pledge has sparked controversy and led to further protests.
