- Student protests over the war in Gaza have swept the U.S. in past weeks, with police clearing a number of encampments, at times after confrontations between protesters and counter-protesters; other tent protests dismantled after universities agreed to protesters' demands; and some demonstrations continuing.Across campuses where protests have broken out, students have called for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza, an end to U.S.
