A wave of student protests has engulfed US universities, with over 800 arrests reported at nearly two dozen campuses, primarily during pro-Palestinian demonstrations. Clashes between protesters, police, and university authorities have intensified, leading to expulsions, arrests, and the use of pepper spray.

The protests demand divestment from companies supporting Israel, financial transparency from universities, and amnesty for disciplined students and faculty. While some universities like Brown have seen peaceful agreements, others like Columbia University have faced police raids and threats of student expulsions.

The surge in state repression on campuses, driven by political tensions and ideological conflicts, highlights broader challenges to liberal democracy and higher education in the US.
