An anti-Israel protest at New York University escalated on Monday, prompting the presence of city police. The university responded by emphasizing the importance of safety while supporting students' rights to protest.
The demonstration, which involved roughly 50 protesters, began on the plaza in front of the business school without prior notice or authorization from NYU. In response to the disruptive nature of the protest, the university closed access to the plaza, set up barriers, and prevented additional protesters from joining.
