University of California, Los Angeles canceled classes Wednesday after dueling
groups of protesters clashed overnight, shoving, kicking and beating each other
with sticks after pro-Israel demonstrators tried to pull down barricades
surrounding a pro-Palestinian encampment.
Hours earlier, police burst into a building occupied by anti-war protesters at
Columbia University, breaking up a demonstration that had paralyzed the school.
Get up to speed:
* Columbia University: Officers took protesters into custody late Tuesday after
Columbia University called in police to end the pro-Palestinian occupation on
the New York campus.
* Other campuses: More than 1,300 protesters have been arrested over the last

Pandemic-era remote tests are making a comeback because of campus disruptions.
The Provost at Columbia University in New York says all final exams and any
remaining class sessions should be held remotely for students at its Morningside
Heights campus. Any papers, projects or presentations due this week also are
being delayed until next week.
The university has been paralyzed by demonstrations, and police have cleared out
a building that had been occupied by anti-war protesters.
The university is strongly encouraging students to leave campus and go home
early for the semester.

A journalist who was arrested during a protest at the University of Texas was
booked and released Wednesday on misdemeanor charges of assault and interference
with public duties.
The Texas Department of Public Safety has accused Carlos Sanchez, a
photojournalist with Austin television station KTBC, of hitting a state trooper
with a camera while covering the April 24 protest.
Video on social media showed troopers pulling Sanchez to the ground after he
followed a mass of protesters and police.
Gerry Morris, Sanchez’s attorney, said in a statement Wednesday that he looks
forward to someone taking an unbiased look at the evidence and exonerating
Sanchez.

Several Republican members of the U.S. House Oversight Committee made a visit
Wednesday to a campus protest site in the nation’s capital.
The congressional visit to George Washington University lasted about 15 minutes
Some students shouted questions while others ignored the lawmakers and sang
Palestinian nationalist songs. As the representatives headed back to their van,
jubilant demonstrators marched back to the center of University Yard.

Last week, the university administration gave protestors an ultimatum to
disperse. But that deadline came and went.
Mayor Muriel Bowser has confirmed that police declined the university’s request
to intervene. Bowser said there was no violence that needed to be interrupted.
“Mayor Bowser has let down the city of Washington,” Florida Republican Rep.
Byron Donalds said. “The mayor is weak in the face of foolishness.”
The congressional committee plans a hearing next week on the district
government’s response to the protest at George Washington University.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Wednesday that about 170 of the 280
arrested at Columbia University and City College the night before received
summonses.
The remaining 100 or so cases will be making their way through the court system,
with the earliest arraignments later Wednesday afternoon and into the evening.
He said he didn’t yet have a sense how many of those arrested were students and
how many weren’t affiliated with the colleges.
“My impression in real time is that these cases are going to come to this office
and we will do what we always do, which is apply the facts and the law,” Bragg
said.

Interim university President Jeff Ettinger said he had “constructive dialogue”
Wednesday with student leaders of an ongoing protest.
The protesters are demanding that the University of Minnesota divest from
companies that do business in Israel and put out a statement that supports
Palestinian students. Ettinger said the planned half-hour meeting stretched for
90 minutes.
University officials have allowed a “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” that includes
dozens of tents and hundreds of people to remain in the heart of the Minneapolis
campus. That’s despite earlier orders by police to disperse. The university has
closed buildings near the protest.

Campus police spokesperson Marc Lovicott said most of those arrested Wednesday
were released “with no citation issued.”
But Lovicott said four people were booked into the Dane County jail. Two face
charges of battery to a police officer. A third person was charged with that
plus resisting arrest. And a fourth person was charged with attempted disarming
of a police officer, resisting arrest and attempted escape.
Police made the arrests while taking down protesters’ tents. Some new tents have
since been set up.

Republican Gov. Brian Kemp says he supports strong punishments for those
arrested at recent protests at the University of Georgia and Emory University.
“If you’ve broken the law, if you’re damaging property, if you are assaulting
police officers, you should have harsh penalties,” Kemp, a University of Georgia
alumnus, said Wednesday.
The governor said he also supports suspending and expelling student protesters
who break laws. Protesters arrested at the University of Georgia were issued
interim suspensions and barred from campus without being given a chance to
appeal.
Emory’s president has apologized for calling outside officers after police last
week used pepper spray balls, tackled protesters and deployed a stun gun on at
least one protester.

Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom says anyone who engaged in illegal behavior on the
University of California, Los Angeles, campus should be held accountable
“through criminal prosecution, suspension or expulsion.”
“The right to free speech does not extend to inciting violence, vandalism, or
lawlessness on campus,” Newsom said.
His spokesperson Izzy Gardon says the California Highway Patrol was deployed to
the Los Angeles campus after “unacceptable” delays and limited response from
campus police to clashes between dueling groups of protesters.

University of Texas officials had expected another large protest Wednesday but
there was no activity on the campus, where more than 100 demonstrators have been
arrested over the past week.
Groups involved in earlier protests appeared to circulate a notice on social
media that the demonstration was postponed until the weekend. A small group of
Texas state troopers were on campus as students continued to pose in front of
the clock tower or fountains for graduation photos.

Protesters say they’ll rally on campus Wednesday evening -- a day after 25
people were arrested as authorities removed an encampment.
The people arrested were charged with trespassing and disorderly conduct and
later released pending court dates. Officials said they violated school rules on
large outdoor gatherings and ignored police orders to remove the tents.
The Connecticut chapter of American Muslims for Palestine issued a statement
calling the arrests “baseless” and urging people “to stand against student

Months before they pitched their tents on Columbia University’s main lawn,
inspiring a wave of protest encampments at college campuses nationwide, a small
group of pro-Palestinian student activists met privately to sketch out the
logistical details of a round-the-clock occupation.
In hours of planning sessions, they discussed communications strategies and
their willingness to risk arrest, along with the more prosaic questions of
bathroom access and trash removal. Then, after scouring online retailers and
Craigslist for the most affordable options, they ordered the tents.
“There’s been a lot of work, a lot of meetings that went into it, and when we
finally pulled it off, we had no idea how it would go,” said Columbia graduate
student Elea Sun.
> “I don’t think anyone imagined it would take off like it did.”
Those involved with the Columbia protest, also known as the “Gaza Solidarity
Encampment,” describe their organizing efforts as both meticulously planned and
heavily improvised. They say the university’s aggressive tactics to quell the
movement have only lent it more momentum.

While some students protest the Israel-Hamas war, millions of others across the
U.S. are going to class, socializing and studying for final exams.
Protester encampments and tumultuous arrests have garnered attention on campuses
from New York to Los Angeles. But that’s not the case everywhere.
In Boston, for example, police broke up protests at Emerson College and
Northeastern University. But the situation has remained calm at Boston College
and Boston University.
New York University professor Robert Cohen has studied the history of student
protests. He notes that most U.S. campuses don’t have demonstrator encampments.
And even at those that do, the number of students involved often is not enough
to fill a large lecture hall.

In a statement, Nemat Shafik said protesters taking over an administration
building on campus early Tuesday was a “drastic escalation” of the encampment at
the college, which “pushed the University to the brink, creating a disruptive
environment for everyone and raising safety risks to an intolerable level.”
Shafik, who goes by Minouche, acknowledged the school has a “long and proud”
history of activism on campus, but argued those occupying the building committed
“acts of destruction, not political speech.”
“I know I speak for many members of our community in saying that this turn of

“We gather as a community to resist the interrelated violent and colonial

Police on Tuesday removed a second protesters’ encampment at Yale without
arresting anyone, as students heeded warnings to leave or face discipline and
arrest. The first camp was taken down April 22 and 48 people were arrested.

letter that protestors had set up tents and raised a flag on a flagpole without
permission.
New York City Mayor Eric Adams praised police officers who pulled down the
Palestinian flag demonstrators had hoisted. An officer balled up that flag and
threw it to the ground. Other officers then raised an American flag.
“You don’t take over our buildings and put another flag up,” Adams said. “Blame
me for being proud to be an American.”

Demonstrators at the Ivy League school said Tuesday they would close the
encampment in exchange for administrators taking a vote to consider divestment
from Israel-linked companies in October.
The encampment began last week and on Monday, school President Christina H.
Paxson offered protest leaders the chance to meet with officials to discuss
their arguments for divestment in exchange for ending their encampment. The
compromise appeared to mark the first time a U.S. college has agreed to vote on
divestment in the wake of the protests.

statements said President Christina Paxson had committed to an October vote by

Police were removing an encampment of pro-Palestinian protesters at the
University of Wisconsin’s Madison campus and have taken away several protesters.
Several police officers arrived at the encampment on the campus’ Library Mall
around 7 a.m. Wednesday and played a recorded message on a loop saying it was a
final warning and that protesters were in violation of university code, WISC-TV
reported.
About 20 minutes later, nearly 60 police officers, some with riot shields,
arrived and began removing tents and other items, the station reported.
Video from WISC-TV showed police with riot shields pushing against protesters
and the protesters pushing back while chanting slogans. The station said that at
least 10 protesters were taken away by police with their hands zip-tied by
officers.
Police later removed some tents that had remained at the encampment, but about
30 protesters surrounded another tent to prevent officers from reaching it.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said in an appearance on on “CBS Mornings” on
Wednesday that police had identified organizations and individuals who weren’t
university students, but professional agitators.
“Once I became aware of the outside agitators who were part of this operation,
as Columbia mentioned in their letter and their request with the New York City
Police Department, it was clear we had to take appropriate actions when our
intelligence division identified those who were professionals, well trained,”
Adams said.
Adams and the NYPD made similar claims before the arrests that the protest had
been co-opted by outside agitators, though did not provide specific evidence to
back up that contention. While people involved in the Columbia demonstrations
acknowledge that some people not part of the college community have
participated, they forcefully dispute the idea that outsiders were driving or
unduly influencing the protests.
Adams pointed to protesters breaking into Hamilton Hall at Columbia University,
saying some of the tactics and methods have been used across the globe.
“And we understood how really dangerous this situation had become,” Adams said,
noting they made sure that a minimum amount of force was used to “eradicate the
problem” at City University of New York and Columbia.
When there’s an analysis of those arrested, Adams said a substantial number of
them won’t be City University of New York or Columbia students.
Adams said he understands the power of protests, but they have to make sure they
don’t turn violent. Breaking into Hamilton Hall was not protesting, “that was
committing a crime,” he said.

Things were subdued at the campus early Wednesday. Police were moved back and
there were no counter-protesters in sight.
At the protesters’ encampment, people would peer out from behind their

Speaker Johnson says Congress will act if universities won’t crack down on
campus protesters
House Republicans on Tuesday announced an investigation into the federal funding
for universities where students have protested the Israel-Hamas war, broadening
a campaign that has placed heavy scrutiny on how presidents at the nation’s most
prestigious colleges have dealt with reports of antisemitism on campus.
Several House committees will be tasked with a wide probe that ultimately
threatens to withhold federal research grants and other government support to
the universities, placing another pressure point on campus administrators who
are struggling to manage pro-Palestinian encampments, allegations of
discrimination against Jewish students and questions of how they are integrating
free speech and campus safety.
The House investigation follows several recent high-profile hearings that
precipitated the resignations of presidents at Harvard and the University of
Pennsylvania. And House Republicans promised more scrutiny, saying they were
calling on the administrators of Yale, UCLA and the University of Michigan to
testify next month.

Maryam Alwan figured the worst was over after New York City police in riot gear
arrested her and other protesters on the Columbia University campus, loaded them
onto buses and held them in custody for hours.
But the next evening, the college junior received an email from the university.
Alwan and other students were being suspended after their arrests at the “ Gaza
Solidarity Encampment,” a tactic colleges across the country have deployed to
calm growing campus protests against the Israel-Hamas war.
The students’ plight has become a central part of protests, with students and a
growing number of faculty demanding their amnesty. At issue is whether
universities and law enforcement will clear the charges and withhold other
consequences, or whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students
into their adult lives.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” on Wednesday
morning that police had to move in to Columbia University’s Hamilton Hall “for
the safety of those children.”
He blamed outside agitators for the building takeover and said “There are people
who are harmful and they’re trying to radicalize our children and we cannot
ignore this.”
The NYPD’s deputy commissioner for public information, Tarik Sheppard, who
appeared with the mayor, held up a heavy chain and said “This is not what
students bring to school. This is what we encountered on every door inside
Hamilton Hall.”
Sheppard said 40 to 50 people were arrested at Hamilton Hall with no injuries.
Adams said they will face charges including burglary, trespassing and criminal
mischief, while those who were arrested outside the building will be face less
serious charges.

Six people have been arrested and suspensions have been issued to seven students
who participated in demonstrations there, the school in New Orleans said in a
message to the university community early Wednesday. One more suspension was
pending, officials said.
The university was also looking into reports of university employees
participating in the demonstration.
“We value free speech and have supported numerous lawful demonstrations
throughout this year,” the university said in the statement. “But we remain
opposed to trespassing, hate speech, antisemitism and bias against religious or
ethnic groups.”
Four buildings on campus would remain closed Wednesday as the demonstration
continued, with classes scheduled in those buildings going remote, officials
said.

The pro-Palestinian demonstration that paralyzed Columbia University ended in
dramatic fashion, with police carrying riot shields bursting into a building
that protesters took over the previous night and making dozens of arrests. On
the other side of the country, clashes broke out early Wednesday between dueling
groups at the University of California, Los Angeles.
New York City officers entered Columbia’s campus late Tuesday after the
university requested help, according to a statement released by a spokesperson.
A tent encampment on the school’s grounds was cleared, along with Hamilton Hall
where a stream of officers used a ladder to climb through a second-floor window.
