The demonstrations come after months of unrest at American colleges but have reached a crescendo in recent days, as administrators have cracked down on pro-Palestinian protests and hundreds of students have been arrested. At the University of Texas in Austin on Wednesday, state troopers clad in riot gear took several protesters into custody, according to local reports, after hundreds of students walked out of class to demand the school divest from companies that do business with Israel. Ahead of the demonstration in Austin, administrators warned organizers to cancel the protest, saying that “refusal to comply may result in arrest.”
