Pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters clash at UCLA

USC, a private university, has been the subject of student protests over the war as well as the administration's decision to cancel a commencement speech by the valedictorian, a Muslim student who had expressed support for Palestinians.

Divestment from Israel Students across the country are calling on their universities to divest their endowments from Israeli companies or defense companies supplying weapons to Israel. Asking colleges to divest for political or ethical reasons isn't new.

Last Friday, we reported that Students for Justice in Palestine and the UC Divest Coalition had formed an encampment at Dickson Plaza to call for the university to divest from companies associated with the Israeli military, among other demands. There were some violent clashes in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
