US President Joe Biden calls for "order" on college campuses, but defends right to peacefully protest
US President Joe Biden says "order must prevail" on college campuses, as unrest engulfs universities across the United States.
Police have arrested more than 1000 people after pro-Palestinian protests and Gaza solidarity encampments took hold at major schools nationwide, with students and staff demanding a boycott of companies or individuals with ties to Israel.
But recent violent clashes, allegations of incendiary chants and the response from law enforcement are sparking outrage and fear — and triggering criticism directed toward the Biden administration, from both sides.
