Students at Harvard and Brown Universities have erected outdoor encampments to protest the ongoing war in Gaza. The encampments are part of a growing movement of student protests across the country calling for their universities to divest from Israel. The Harvard encampment, which organizers have dubbed a “liberated zone,” was established by the Harvard Out of Occupied Palestine Coalition. The group is demanding that Harvard disclose any institutional and financial investments in Israel. At Brown University, students with the Brown Divest Coalition have set up an encampment and are calling for the university to drop charges against 41 students arrested during a sit-in last December. They are also demanding that Brown divest its endowment from companies that profit from Israel’s military occupation of Palestinian territory. The protests come amid rising tensions and protests on campuses across the country over the war in Gaza. More than 34,000 people have been killed in Gaza as a result of Israel’s bombardment and ground offensive, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.
