Hundreds of students gathered outside Harvard’s University Hall Wednesday, protesting the university’s suspension of the Palestine Solidarity Committee.
The events at Harvard unfolded as similar activism across campuses in Greater Boston and the U.S. drew national attention and comparisons to Vietnam-era student protest movements. The actions largely called for a ceasefire in Gaza and for universities to sever financial ties to Israel.
On the first night of Passover, several local college students are demanding their school call for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas following the protests at Columbia University last week.
At MIT, Emerson and other campuses, students said they were protesting in solidarity with those arrested at Columbia University. Protests have spread to numerous campuses around the country.
