By the mid-2010s, the stra…

College students have been at the forefront of the movement for a ceasefire in Palestine since Israel’s ongoing incursion of Gaza after the October 7 Hamas attack.

In Vermont, Palestinian college students on a wal…

I keep having this problem when I go somewhere to interview sources and by the time I get there, they’ve been arrested. Maybe your scrolling on social media can back that up.

It’s college graduation season, but some students who participated in on-campus protests for Palestine saw their semester end without one. That’s why a group of Columbia faculty and staff members planned what they called a “People’s Graduation.” The event, hosted at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine on May 16, celebrated graduating students from Columbia, City University of New York (CUNY), and New York University, some of whom were unable to participate in their schools’ ceremonies.
