Thirteen People Arrested at Emerson College ‘While Protesting School’s Stance on Israel-Hamas’ Conflict
Thirteen people were arrested outside of an inauguration for Emerson College’s new president Friday while protesting the university’s tuition hikes and stance on the Israel-Hamas war, school and law enforcement officials said. The arrests took place outside of Cutler Majestic Theatre Friday morning as some 50 protestors gathered while Emerson’s new president Jay M. Bernhardt was being inaugurated, the school said in a letter to the community sent on Friday. Twelve of the 13 demonstrators were Emerson students, the school said.
All of the students had been released from custody as of Saturday, Emerson’s Students for Justice in Palestine group said in a post on its Instagram page. In a follow-up letter on Sunday, Bernhardt said the school would not pursue charges against those arrested at the demonstration.
