Student protests against the Israel-Hamas war spread to college campuses throughout Colorado this week as a solidarity encampment at Denver’s Auraria Higher Education Campus entered its seventh day.
“ leaders indicated that they are engaging in ‘civil disobedience;’ they recognize that they are in violation of the campus no-camping policy; and they have no intention of removing the tents until their demands are met,” Auraria officials said in a statement.Campus leaders are trying to portray students as unreasonable and uncompromising, said student organizer Harriet Falconetti.
Protests also caught on at other Colorado college campuses this week, with students and community members organizing rallies and other events from Greeley to Colorado Springs.
