NYPD arrests professors, students at NYU during pro-Palestinian protest that blocked access to library.

On December 12th, NYPD arrested at least two professors and several students at NYU's Bobst Library after they staged a pro-Palestinian protest, blocking access and disrupting final exam preparations. The protesters, part of the Students for Justice in Palestine and Faculty for Justice in Palestine, refused to disperse, leading to arrests. This follows a previous lawsuit where NYU agreed to pay an undisclosed sum to students who claimed the university was indifferent to antisemitic discrimination. The protest also demanded the university disclose its investments in companies tied to Israel.
