The Princeton protest began as student encampments are springing up across campuses nationwide to protest the Israel-Hamas war.
After the university’s Department of Public Safety warned students repeatedly to stop erecting about half a dozen tents and leave the area, two students were arrested by Public Safety officers for trespassing, said Jennifer Morrill, a Princeton University spokeswoman. The students were immediately barred from campus and will face a campus disciplinary process.
At a news conference after the student arrests, protesting Princeton students said they would continue their demonstration until the Ivy League university divests its investments from firms profiting from the Israel-Hamas war. “Any individual involved in an encampment, occupation, or other unlawful disruptive conduct who refuses to stop after a warning will be arrested and immediately barred from campus,” she wrote. “For students, such exclusion from campus would jeopardize their ability to complete the semester.”The New Jersey chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union urged all university officials to continue fostering debate, even if it is contentious.
“I applaud Princeton administration for being clear on what the rules are and for enforcing them properly,” Rabbi Eitan Webb, the co-director of Princeton’s Chabad House, told The Princetonian.
