Protesters nationwide are demanding that schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict.

Students protesting the Israel-Hamas war at universities across the U.S. dug in on Saturday and vowed to keep their demonstrations going despite ongoing clashes with law enforcement called to remove protesters.Early Saturday, police began clearing out a Pro-Palestinian student encampment on the campus of Northeastern University in Boston. The school said the demonstration, which began two days ago, had become 'infiltrated by professional organizers' with no affiliation to the school.

They are largely symbolic rebukes, without the power to remove their presidents.But the tensions pile pressure on school officials, who are already scrambling to resolve the protests as May graduation ceremonies near. The University of Southern California, which had already canceled its valedictorian's speech, said it would not hold a graduation ceremony, citing safety concerns.
