Washington University officials said that all arrested demonstrators will be charged with trespassing and that some of them also will be charged with resisting arrest and assault over skirmishes with police.

Pro-Palestinian protests have spread to college campuses across the U.S., stoked by the mass arrest of over 100 people on Columbia University's campus last week.

The protest near the University of Pittsburgh is calling for the institution to break ties with any company that supports the nation of Israel, as its conflict with Hamas continues overseas.
