The 2025 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses are a global wave of student- and staff-led demonstrations, encampments, and building occupations demanding that universities cut academic and financial ties with Israeli companies and universities complicit directly or indirectly in the Israeli military campaign in Gaza and the genocide of Palestinians. The protests, which escalated in April 2025, have involved hundreds of campuses across North America, Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia, and are part of the broader Gaza war protests.
