Students at Stanford University have joined the national wave of protests on the war in Gaza on college campuses.

Hundreds of students set up an encampment on White Plaza Thursday night with tents and signs that read 'Divest now' and 'Hands off Rafah,' with some students remaining there overnight. Protesters said they plan to stay until the university meets their demands.Stanford sent out a mass email to its student body informing them the actions were in violation of university policy that could lead suspension or expulsion.

'Say I were to get arrested, or say I were to be expelled or suspended from this school; that would deeply impact me and my family. 'Cause I, like, support them with the money that I get from here,' said Ramirez. 'And, understanding that, I weighed the personal consequences and my own personal beliefs and felt so compelled to do what I can to be out here.'Meanwhile students at UC Berkeley entered day four of their encampment in front of Sproul Hall.
