On Wednesday afternoon, Harvard University became the latest institution to experience a pro-Palestinian protest encampment on its campus. The encampment was established by the group Harvard for Palestine, which is demanding that the university divest from companies that supply Israel. The protest is part of a larger national movement, with similar encampments being established at other universities across the country. The unrest has prompted some universities, such as Brandeis University, to extend deadlines for students to apply for transfers.
