College Tensions Reignite with Arrests at Penn, Chicago

Police removed protesters who were attempting to occupy buildings at the University of Pennsylvania and University of Chicago Friday night, as tensions over the Israel-Hamas war once again flared up across college campuses.

A group of protesters tried to enter the Fisher-Bennett Hall on Penn’s campus, the university said in a statement. Nineteen people, including six Penn students, were taken into custody, and seven are facing felony charges.
