Students, faculty protest at Case Western Reserve University amid Israel-Hamas war

A group has gathered at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland as protests continue on college campuses nationwide concerning the war between Israel and Hamas.

The group tells 3News students will be occupying KSL Oval at CWRU until the administration “meets their demands to divest from the state of Israel.” Amy Morona, a reporter with our partners at Signal Cleveland, said students began setting up an encampment outside of the Case library around 9:30 a.m.

A spokesperson for Case tells 3News that about 20 protestors were detained and released, but no arrests had been made.

“As anti-war protests occur across university campuses in the U.S. with increasing hostility from university administration, CWRU students feel it is imperative to take a stand, as students have always led the way in the anti-war movement,” according to the organization.
