Pro-Palestinian protests and encampments on college campuses dropped sharply by nearly 70% after the institutions tightened their rules, according to data compiled by the Nonviolent Action Lab at Harvard University’s Ash Center.
Some of the stricter rules include locking campus gates and tougher punishments.
According to the center, there have been close to 950 protest events this semester compared to 3,000 last semester.
The New York Times reported that about 50 people have been arrested at protest events so far this school year while more than 3,000 were arrested last semester.
