Students and faculty at George Washington University in Washington, D.C., are protesting in support of Palestinians in the latest wave of pro-Gaza protests on college campuses.

In a statement, officials for GWU, a private university located within 1 mile of the White House, said protesters need to move by 7 p.m. as overnight encampments are not permitted. They also said the space where the protest is being held was not a viable option for demonstrations.

“University Yard was previously reserved and is not available for demonstrations,” the statement reads. “GW Law final exams are taking place at adjacent buildings.”

University officials also said “non-GW individuals” were not permitted to demonstrate on university grounds.

Tough talk from a soyboy GWU protester. Try not to laugh.

NEW: Statement by George Washington University President Ellen Granberg on the encampment:  “What is currently happening at GW is not a peaceful protest protected by the First Amendment or our university’s policies. The demonstration, like many around the country, has grown into what can only be classified as an illegal and potentially dangerous occupation of GW property. ...  It is clear that this is no longer a GW student demonstration. It has been co-opted by individuals who are largely unaffiliated with our community. ...  As a university, we are not equipped to single-handedly manage an unprecedented situation such as this.”

It’s insane that the University is begging for help with clear criminal behavior, but @MayorBowser and the police are refusing to do anything. This is only an issue in a few cities run by far-left progressives who think the laws do not apply to mobs they consider allies.
