Troopers arrest protesting students at University of Texas - VOA News #shorts.
Eyewitness footage from Austin on Wednesday showed troopers in riot gear entering the campus of the University of Texas and dispersing pro-Palestine protesters and other rival demonstrators, according to media reports.
Columbia University in New York held virtual classes Monday on the sixth continuous day of student protests over the Israel-Hamas conflict.
University President Nemat “Minouche” Shafik sent an email to the Columbia community announcing that classes would be held virtually.
“The decibel of our disagreements has only increased in recent days,” Shafik wrote. “These tensions have been exploited and amplified by individuals who are not affiliated with Columbia who have come to campus to pursue their own agendas. We need a reset.”
