They are arresting students. And suspending students without trial. And disabling the student's keycards (used to enter their dorm room and get food on campus), making them homeless and without access to the food they already paid for.

Many of these students are Jewish, which means the greatest antisemitic attacks on campus recently have been by police and the school administration themselves.

A lot of those arrests and suspensions were actually illegal when you look at the cases.

The police were called to arrest them for trespassing because they were suspended, but also, they were suspended for being arrested. The logic is entirely circular and if there was any justice the charges would be dropped and the school would be sued for damages.
