Unpacking the official response to the pro-Gaza student movement

11:15

As school years wind down at colleges and universities around the state, the last student encampments protesting the war in Gaza have been dismantled.

At some schools, student protestors packed up the tents of their own free will. At others — including Emerson, Northeastern and MIT — they were forcibly disbanded by police.

With summer fast approaching, questions remain about the tactics employed by universities to disperse student protesters. The Common's Darryl C. Murphy speaks with WBUR senior political reporter Anthony Brooks about what happened and what comes next.
