More than 2,000 students have been arrested at anti-Israel protests on university campuses across the country in the past two weeks. Demonstrations persist despite the crackdown, however, and college administrations are growing desperate to deal with the protests before they can interfere with graduation and commencement ceremonies.

The police union representing officers at University of California schools is criticizing UCLA administrators for the 'lack of response' to violence that broke out at anti-Israel student protests on campus last week. The union also called for an independent investigation into the response.

Hundreds of pro-Palestine demonstrators set up an encampment on UCLA's campus in Royce Quad last week to demand that the university divest from companies and institutions that are 'complicit in the Israeli occupation, apartheid, and genocide of the Palestinian people.' Early Wednesday morning, pro-Israel counter-protesters attacked the encampment, which started a clash between them and the anti-Israel protesters, Fox 11 reported.
