Part 4/5:
A core group of 21 students involved in the protest were arrested and have since been suspended and banned from all university campuses. The protestors occupied the Interdisciplinary Engineering building, forcing a lockdown and creating disorder that included street closures and even minor fires.
While the protesters aimed to bring attention to their cause—calling for the university to sever ties with Boeing—the school administration condemned the protest as illegal and dangerous. They denounced the group's rhetoric regarding the Hamas bombings that resulted in Israeli casualties as anti-Semitic.
As the fallout from the protest continues, the university's board of regents is scheduled to convene tomorrow morning to address the series of events and their implications moving forward.
