Colleges and universities have tightened rules and enforcement around protests, leading to a significant drop in protest events from last semester's 3,000 to just under 950 this semester.
Harvard's administration took drastic measures, temporarily banning dozens of students and faculty from libraries following silent study-ins opposing the Gaza war, a shift from their traditionally supportive stance toward activism.
Protests were met with stricter enforcement, including at Indiana University where attendees of candlelight vigils were disciplined under a new rule prohibiting expressive activities past 11 p.m.
At Montclair State University, police now often outnumber protest participants, showcasing a notable shift in campus dynamics where student activism is increasingly met with institutional resistance.
