The prevailing thought in academia is usually to let the students blow off some steam, especially now as final exams are looming. At least here, the protestors were all staying outside in tents until the professional agitators showed up and took over a campus building at Columbia University. That's when NYPD was asked to take action.
The likely outcome of all this will be a requirement from the feds for all colleges/universities to publicly disclose the equity holdings in their endowments, so potential future students can pick their schools based on this info if it really matters to 98% of them. Divesting from funds that support war is what this whole protest thing started out demanding.....
