Description

College protestors across the nation — including in Minnesota — woke up in tents this morning. A growing number of students have joined rallies and campouts to protest the Israel-Hamas war and demand their schools cut financial ties to Israel. Student journalists from Hamline University in St. Paul and the University of Minnesota Twin Cities joined MPR News host Emily Bright about the latest on their campuses. Sabine Benda is a senior at Hamline and has been reporting on the protests for her school’s paper, The Oracle. And Sam Hill is a student reporter and sophomore at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities, where protests led to arrests last week.
