On November 8, a student in a white T-shirt walked through the green behind Brown University's main administration building, her hands cuffed behind her back. Around her were three police officers holding her elbows, in front were the university's main gates lit up with flashing police lights, and on either side of her were hundreds of students singing. She was singing too.
But according to protesters, Paxson refused to meet with them-and now, five hours after the sit-in began, and 45 minutes after the building's operating hours ended, the protesters were being arrested.
The sit-in is one of the latest in an escalating series of protests on Brown's campus about the war in Gaza, with student activists demanding divestment from companies that enable war crimes.
