A series of pro-Palestinian protests and encampments at universities across the United States and globally have led to numerous arrests and disciplinary actions against students. In the U.S., the University of Pennsylvania and MIT have been notable centers of activity, with 135 protesters arrested at UMass Amherst. At Penn, six students were placed on mandatory leave, and protests have continued despite warnings, leading to increased security measures as graduation approaches. At MIT, confrontations with police led to several arrests. The protests have sparked similar movements in the UK with 14 new encampments and globally, with encampments reported at 80 colleges in the U.S., indicating a widespread global student movement. Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro has called for the disbandment of the encampment at Penn to restore order and safety.
