US colleges impose new protest rules, including bans and restrictions, amid anti-war demonstrations.

US colleges implement new rules to limit student protests amid anti-war demonstrations, particularly in response to the war in Gaza. New measures include banning encampments, limiting demonstration duration, restricting protests to designated spaces, and requiring university ID for campus access.
