41 Brown University students were arrested and charged with trespassing during a Monday night sit-in at University Hall where they demanded the school divest from weapons manufacturers amid the Israel-Hamas war, according to the Brown Daily Herald.
"The disruption to secure buildings is not acceptable, and the University is prepared to escalate the level of criminal charges for future incidents of students occupying secure buildings," University Spokesperson Brian Clark wrote in a statement to The Herald.
The arrests come just one month after twenty members of Jews for Ceasefire Now were charged with trespassing after staging a sit-in at University Hall, calling for divestment and a ceasefire, according to the Herald.
