Student protests in solidarity with Palestine have set up protests and encampments on campuses across the country from Columbia, NYU and the New School in New York to Berkeley, Stanford and Cal Poly Humboldt in California. Students are demanding that their universities—many of them among the most elite in the country with giant endowments—divest from weapons manufacturers and Israeli companies.
