Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseason - Police dismantled encampments and arrested dozens of pro-Palestinian protesters at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the University of Pennsylvania on Friday morning, in the latest crackdowns on protests roiling U.S. campuses.
The dawn raids were the latest efforts by school and local authorities to end such demonstrations at dozens of universities around the country. Students have called for a ceasefire in Israel's incursion into Gaza and have demanded their schools divest from companies with ties to Israel. MIT President Sally Kornbluth said in a statement on Friday that the 10 individuals arrested on Friday"peacefully" submitted to police, but that the arrests came after escalating clashes between pro-Palestinian and pro-Israeli protesters.
Penn Interim President J. Larry Jameson said in a statement on Monday that"every day the encampment exists, the campus is less safe," citing reports of harassing and threatening speech, the defacement of campus landmarks, and a video of a student being denied entry to the encampment.
