Clashes at Princeton, Northwestern as students defy university policy against anti-Israel encampments
In the latest campus clash, police officers immediately respond as student protesters at New Jersey’s Princeton University begin setting up an anti-Israel encampment, video footage on social media shows.
“You all are in violation of university policy. These tents must come down now,” an officer is heard saying in a video posted on X, as protesters chant “Free, free Palestine.”
At Northwestern University, students began erecting tents on the campus just north of Chicago as they called for the school to protect pro-Palestine speakers and end relationships with Israeli institutions, organizers say.
“We refuse to allow business to continue as usual in the face of Northwestern’s complicity,” the NU Educators for Justice in Palestine, Student Liberation Union and anti-Israel Jewish Voice for Peace say in a joint statement.
Video from Northwestern shows students shoving officers called in to disperse the encampment.
