Busting Heads at the University of Austin

At least ten people have been arrested during a massive anti-Israel protest going on at the University of Texas at Austin.

The protest on Wednesday was organized by the Palestine Solidarity Committee, following the footsteps of anti-Israel protesters at Columbia University which formed an encampment, according to KVUE.

The organization initially planned to march and occupy UT Austin’s South Mall, but administrators notified the group that the event wasn’t authorized.

”Simply put, The University of Texas at Austin will not allow this campus to be ‘taken’ and protesters to derail our mission in ways that groups affiliated with your national organization have accomplished elsewhere,” a letter from university administrators stated. “Please be advised that you are not permitted to hold your event on the University campus. Any attempt to do so will subject your organization and its attending members to discipline including suspension under the Institutional Rules.”
