U.S. colleges revise rules on free speech in hopes of containing
anti-war demonstrations
Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — As students
return to colleges across the
United States, administrators
are bracing for a resurgence
in activism against the war
in Gaza, and some schools
are adopting rules to limit the
kind of protests that swept
campuses last spring. While
the summer break provided
a respite in student demon-
strations against the Israel-
Hamas war, it also gave both
student protesters and higher
education officials a chance
to regroup and strategize for
the fall semester. The stakes
remain high. At Columbia Uni-
versity, President Minouche
Shafik resigned Wednesday
after coming under heavy
scrutiny for her handling of the
demonstrations at the cam-
pus in New York City, where
the wave of pro-Palestinian
tent encampments began
last spring. A demonstrator waves a flag on the Columbia University campus at a pro-Palestinian protest encampment, in New York, April 29,
2024.
