Campus protests haven't stopped as schools clear out for the summer

Classes may be ending at many colleges and universities, but the student antiwar movement shows no signs of slowing down this summer. Activists at campuses from California to New York are continuing to demand that their schools divest from Israeli companies with ties to the war in Gaza. Some protesters, like alumni at Columbia University, have even erected new encampments after administrators ordered previous ones torn down.

Students protesting the war say Israel has gone too far, and they refuse to silence their calls for universities to unravel their financial ties to the country. Mohamed said she credits students with spreading an antiwar message that will reverberate through the summer and into the presidential election in November. “The students sparked a new energy into the movement,” she said. “The movement was ready and able to meet the students where they’re at and carry forward that energy.
