This document features reflections from students at Columbia Law, City University of New York (CUNY) Law, New York Law, and Yale Law students, offering firsthand accounts and analyses of the motivations, demands, and experiences within the student encampments protesting their universities’ financial ties to Israel and the ongoing conflict in Gaza. The sources also highlight the historical context of student activism, drawing parallels to past divestment movements, and argue that universities are deeply intertwined with global and local systems of capitalism, gentrification, and imperialism, which the protests aim to disrupt.
