The Latest | Arrests top 2,000 as protests against Israel-Hamas war roil college campuses
By The Associated Press
The number of people arrested in connection with protests on college campuses against the Israel-Hamas war has now topped 2,000. The Associated Press has tallied arrests at 35 schools since a tent encampment began at Columbia University on April 17. Some of the campus protests popping up over the last two weeks have led to agreements with administrators to consider the protesters demands. At Fordham, Northwestern, Minnesota and Brown, students will be able to make their case to university leaders about divesting from Israel. More frequently, demonstrators have been arrested after refusing to disperse or vandalizing property.
