Campus activism has surged towards the end of the academic year, particularly with pro-Palestinian demonstrations resulting in arrests across various universities. Compared to last year's protests, which saw over 2,100 arrests, the current demonstrations exhibit a more scattered approach but encompass significantly heightened stakes. The Trump administration is investigating universities based on their protest management, citing antisemitism claims and leveraging the situation by freezing federal funds. In response, colleges have adopted stricter disciplinary policies, especially targeting protests that disrupt regular campus activity.
Colleges have been taking a harder line on discipline and enforcement, following new policies adopted to prevent tent encampments that stayed up for weeks last year.
President Trump’s administration has been investigating colleges over their handling of protests, including allegations of antisemitism, using frozen federal grants as leverage for demands.
