Earlier protests at Columbia, where demonstrators set up tents in the centre of the campus, sparked pro-Palestinian demonstrations across the US.

Colleges around the US have implored pro-Palestinian student protesters to clear out tent encampments with rising levels of urgency, including an ultimatum from Columbia University for students to sign a form and leave the encampment by the afternoon or face suspension.

The University of Southern California cancelled its main graduation ceremony this spring. Others are asking the protests to resolve peacefully so they can hold their ceremonies. Yale said in a statement on Monday that while it supports peaceful protests and freedom of speech, it does not tolerate policy violations such as the encampment.

“We urge you to remove the encampment so that we do not deprive your fellow students, their families and friends of this momentous occasion,” the letter said.
