More than 100 USC students erected tents, banners and signs in the center of campus Wednesday, joining a growing national sit-in movement across college campuses as pro-Palestinian activists demand that universities call for a permanent cease-fire in the Israel-Hamas war and divest from ties to weapons manufacturers with ties to Israel.
The encampment joined a growing number of student-led demonstrations at college campuses since last week, when more than 100 arrests at an ongoing camp-in at Columbia University spurred solidarity protests at universities from Massachusetts to California.
