Since 2024, many university and college campuses around the world have experienced pro-Palestine protests in response to the Zionist genocide that escalated in October 2023.
By university
Kansas State University
On May 1, the Kansas State University Young Democratic Socialists of America (KSU YDSA) demanded divestment from Israel, transparency for the KSU Alumni Fund formed in 2014, and resignation of President Richard Linton from the U.S.-Israel Agricultural Co-Operative. Students set up an encampment on Linton's lawn, but only 12 remained for the whole night. Despite heavy police presence and six neo-Nazi counterprotesters from Young Americans for Freedom, no protestors were injured or arrested.[1]
Northwestern University
On April 24, a group of about 100 students and staff created an encampment on the campus of Northwestern University near Chicago, Illinois. The encampment suddenly ended on May 1 when the organizers made an opportunist and non-binding deal with the university. They agreed not to hold any more protests for the rest of the academic year without administrator approval in exchange for insignificant action from the university. On May 23, Northwestern President Michael Schill said he would never recommend divestment or boycott from the Zionist Entity.[2]
