Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 5 May 2024[edit]

Additional schools have been added to the protest list. In Illinois, we have protests at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University, and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, the final of which experienced multiple arrests today. I am requesting to add these schools to the list Hsmorgane (talk) 07:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Effects - divestments?[edit]

As this article is now evolving to a more encyclopedic format, one of the key questions a reader will ask is "To what degree did the protests lead to divestment from Israel?" At least some US universities have to some degree accepted this demand by the protestors. Some of this info is probably in the Reactions section, but would be worth a section either in the Overview section or as a subsection of Responses / United States.

I never found must content on this, but slowly it's surfacing, even if in a very vague manner [1]. I think it'd make sure sense as a sub-section of Overview, as an Effects section, rather than in Response (which is broadly more opinion based than fact based). CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 18:22, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Overview/Effects sounds reasonable. That ref states "Brown, Northwestern and Rutgers" agreements as "standing out". A couple of other refs adding depth to that and that look usable:

Thanks for that last reference, that covers it well, so I made a start on an Effects section. Possibly it should be renamed to Impact though. Will add content from Irish Times when I find a moment. CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 17:24, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

2024 University of Virginia pro-Palestinian campus occupation[edit]

2017 Unite the Right rally compared to student protestors nationwide, and in this community especially

I just started this article. One of the weird aspects of this protest was that Donald Trump had been saying that pro-Palestinian demonstrators were the same as the hostile actors in the Unite the Right rally. Bluerasberry (talk) 18:20, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Separate article for the May 1st Pro-Israeli attack at UCLA?[edit]

Since it was a notable event in the campus protests across the United States. There is also so much more information not included in the section of the UCLA article. I feel like The New York Times did a great job depicting the timeline of events (https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2024/05/03/us/ucla-protests-encampment-violence.html), which can be used as a reference. Seeing as the governor of California and the UC president are expressing desire for an investigation of campus police and the LAPD, we could see much more information in the coming months. I also posted this on the UCLA campus occupation article's talk page. Thoughts or suggestions? Kokaynegeesus (talk) 20:25, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Given there is already the 2024 University of California, Los Angeles pro-Palestinian campus occupation article, I don't see this event needing to be split from there per WP:SIZERULE: Length alone does not justify division or trimming.. What's your reason your wanting to split and not improve the current article about UCLA campus occupation? CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 20:47, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Articles for certain individual encampments[edit]

I already posted this on the List of protests article here, but I figure I'd repost here.

I see that aside from Columbia, articles have been written for the encampments at Portland State, Sciences Po, UCLA, and University of Oregon. Are there other individual encampments that have gotten enough coverage to have their own seperate articles? Personally, I think USC, Cal Poly Humboldt, UT Austin, and maybe a couple others have enough notability for articles, but I'd like to hear what others think.

Change the short description from "Series of war protests on US campuses" to "Series of war protests on campuses in North America, Europe, and Australia" because this is no longer just in the United States. Mariwlqs (talk) 03:12, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Asia, Africa and South America too. Kire1975 (talk) 06:28, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Request title change to include the word "college"[edit]

I suggest that the title be renamed "2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university and college campuses." This new title would be more inclusive, and it may also be easier to find using search engines. Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 13:43, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Counter protests[edit]

Should there be mention of counter-protests, like this one at the University of Mississippi? [2]https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/article/2024/may/06/university-of-mississippi-palestine-counter-protest-investigation Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 15:10, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

UCSD police action[edit]

Should material be added about today's police raid at UCSD on their encampment? Their encampment had been entirely peaceful with no incidents between protesters and outside individuals, and yet, after needed expansion of the encampment due to overcrowding due to the university canceling the annual music festival due to the protest and people joining the protest in solidarity who otherwise would have been at said music festival, the university cited this expansion, as well as the encampment refusing entry to police and fire marshalls, as an act of aggression and sent in armed riot police and border patrol, arrested 40 students and 24 non-students, and dismantled the encampment, and the chancellor basically shut the entire west campus down, forced all classes online-only, and instituted a state of police martial law for the following 25 hours. 68.8.84.138 (talk) 02:17, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add what you have, with sources, on the list page here. I've already added some, but not as much as you have. Kire1975 (talk) 04:59, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Some of the relevant information comes from administrative emails to students. How would I cite these? 68.8.84.138 (talk) 18:41, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I added Belgium and the Netherlands to List_of_pro-Palestinian_protests_on_university_campuses_in_2024#Other_countries. I'm not sure how adding just them to the infobox on this article is going to improve anything. Thanks for the new source. Kire1975 (talk) 08:39, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please add this:- It was claimed that Rockefeller Brothers Fund, WESPAC, George Soros and Howard Horowitz were funding the protests through the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP), American Muslims for Palestine (AMP), Jewish Voice for Peace (JVP) and others but these were denied by the foundations of Soros.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] DieAchtung (talk) 19:14, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Section on student expulsions and due process?[edit]

Should there be a section on student expulsions and due process? [4]https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2024/05/06/college-protests-suspensions-expulsion-arrests/ Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 22:22, 7 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If there is enough content sure. Otherwise it should probably go into the Participants section. One reference doesn't look like it'd be enough for an entire section though. Do you have more sources available? CommunityNotesContributor (talk) 17:22, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  • What I think should be changed: Change all instances of "Israel-Hamas war protests", such as the one in the map caption, to "pro-Palestinian protests".
  • Why it should be changed: Many protestors would say that they are not protesting the Israel-Hamas war, but rather the genocide and war crimes committed by the IDF and the occupation of Palestine. Further, the article title already uses "pro-Palestinian" instead of "Israel-Hamas war", and the rest of the article should be changed to align with that.

Agreed. The Israel-Hamas war is a biased frame that favors the Palestinian genocide. Israel is a nation state while Hamas is a political party. Most of the casualties have little or nothing to do with Hamas. Do we know what percentage of US protesters support Hamas? Collegemeltdown2 (talk) 16:55, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree. From searching the term, the references to Israel–Hamas war include "as a part of wider Israel–Hamas war protests" in the lead and in the background, which is very much accurate. Do you have other examples I'm missing? Pro-Palestinian protests is otherwise references numerous times, more so than Israel–Hamas war protests.

Yemeni Public[edit]

At the end of the other countries section it says "This was met with ridicule from the Yemeni public." but that's not in the source at all. Anyone with permissions wanna change that? Gabecube45 (talk) 17:44, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
