Dozens of universities across more than 30 states remain embroiled in confrontations between pro-Palestinian protesters and police on May 3 with officials coast-to-coast calling for calm and raising alarm about the growing presence on campuses of “outside agitators” and counter-demonstrators promoting violence.

Skirmishing between protesters, often within makeshift encampments on campus quads, and organized, tactical counter-demonstrators raged for hours at the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA) on May 1.
