Mass arrests made as US campus protests over Gaza

Dozens of college campuses across the US have been taken over by students protesting against the war in Gaza.
The universities have been struggled to deal with the encampments on college grounds just days before graduation ceremonies.
New York City police were called out to Columbia's campus and arrested more than 100 demonstrators last week.

Columbia head Dr Minouche Shafik said,
tensions on campus had been amplified by individuals who are not affiliated with Columbia  to pursue their own agendas.

This article reminds me of the anti-Vietnam War protests by many student’s in the late 1960s.
I guess,
at the time, the universities were hesitant to call the police, because the universities were , so to speak,  a symbol of freedom of thought.

As a high school student in the 60’s, I sympathized with the anti-Vietnam War protests.
But now, I think what Columbia head said is probably true. 
More specifically, Hamas supporters might  have been joining these protests.
Columbia head‘s decision would be unavoidable.
