campus protests
University political demonstrations
Campus protests are demonstrations by university students, typically on or near school grounds, addressing political or social issues.
The term often evokes the Vietnam War era, when student movements challenged U.S. military policy, but campus protests continue over issues from divestment to free speech: Campus protests disrupted graduation ceremonies.
