Arrests, Makeshift Weapons, and Free Tuition Offer from Iran: Anti-Israel Protests Update

According to New York University (NYU), more than half of the protesters arrested were outside agitators. The NYPD arrested 133 individuals at NYU, with only 65 being current students, faculty, or staff. This revelation follows the NYPD and Mayor Eric Adams claiming that a significant number of the 283 protesters arrested at Columbia University and CUNY were also external actors.

In a surprising move, Shiraz University in Iran announced a scholarship program offering free tuition to American students expelled due to their pro-Palestinian protests. Meanwhile, the student editors of the Columbia Law Review demanded the cancellation of exams, citing trauma caused by the police presence during the clearing of the unauthorized encampment.

At Portland State University (PSU), anti-Israel protesters charged at police with makeshift shields made from trash bins but were quickly thwarted. UCLA saw at least 132 demonstrators arrested during a raid on a barricaded encampment.

In contrast, Brown University demonstrators and administrators reached an agreement to disband the camp in exchange for a meeting to discuss divestment demands.
