Police crackdowns on student protests, particularly those demanding divestment from Israel and against the presence of police on campus, are escalating with arrests and tense confrontations.
Recent incidents include the dismantling of a pro-Palestine encampment at Emory University and arrests at Columbia, NYU, Emerson, and USC, indicating a broader trend of crackdowns on student activism.
The involvement of university administrations in authorizing these police actions has raised concerns about the suppression of free speech and peaceful protest.
Arrests of notable figures like the chair of Emory's philosophy department highlight the severity of the crackdowns and the potential impact on academic freedom.
