STORYLINE:
Dozens of police officers and state troopers formed a line to prevent students at the University of Texas at Austin from marching through the campus on Wednesday, eventually clashing with the protesters and detaining multiple people.
Protesters said they had planned a walkout and march to the main campus lawn, where students would occupy the space and host events throughout the afternoon. But the university said in a statement that it would “not tolerate disruptions” like those at other campuses.
Texas police and other officials did not immediately confirm how many people were arrested.
Students across the country are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza - and in some cases from Israel itself.
The protests have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups.
The groups largely act independently, though students say they’re inspired by peers at other universities.
