...number of faculty demanding amnesty for protesters.
👉At issue is whether the suspensions and legal records will follow students through their adult lives..."👈
Students of law should be very careful in particular. Breaking the law to exercise a right (#1A) cannot be an adequate path for a future lawyer or judge in my view, regardless of the justification of the grievance.

Dozens of protesters took over a building at Columbia University in New York early Tuesday, barricading the entrances and unfurling a Palestinian flag out of a window in the latest escalation of demonstrations against the Israel-Hamas war that have spread to college campuses nationwide.https://www.voanews.com/a/pro-palestinian-protesters-take-over-columbia-university-building/7591600.html #voanews

Net Neutrality is restored:
"In a 3–2 vote, the FCC voted to restore Net Neutrality protections & reclassify high-speed-internet access services as telecom services subject to Title II of the Communications Act.
The decision is a major victory for the public interest: Title II authority empowers the FCC to hold companies: AT&T, Comcast, Spectrum... accountable for a wide range of harms to internet users across the US, fast, open +fair for all of us.”

...all transit is disproportional and should not be within #1A. Blockading all public transit is not an expression of #1A anymore, IMHO.
Countries such as France and Germany seem to think that the right to protest includes these methods, I sure don't.
The rights of protesters can never be greater than the rights of other citizens going about their daily lives, only equal. Shutting everything down is disproportionate and abusive, IMO.

...#1A of these protesting students ON CAMPUS ends where it infringes other students' (hard-earned) right to study and prepare for a career.
Protestors can continue to excercise their 1A right OFF-prem. Online lectures have provend (during the Pandemic) to be far less effective than the ones in RL.
Mass filming and shouting by large crods is threating to many that have a different opinion and move b/w lectures. There is no "right to intimidate."
That said, I...
Ugh. Powerful anti-PR* for the #UniversityOfTexas, I agree.
However, as discussed in the thread* below, I disagree with the implied assessment.
Students that are lawfully using their #1a but doing so in a political way ON the (private premises) of campuses are severly disrupting the learning environment for all students. That is not exceptable:

I'm not convinced that the adjective peaceful can appropriately be used to describe the word occupy.Occupy: take control of (a place, especially a country) by military conquest or settlement:
"the region was occupied by Britain during World War I"
enter, take control of, and stay in (a building) illegally and often forcibly, especially as a form of protest:
"the workers occupied the factory"

...have the right to protest, that protest should be limited to public grounds. Any property owner has the right to clear his grounds of people not behaving in a constructive way.
OFC #1A, but not everywhere, neither online (->#X/#Twitter), nor in RL. According to many news reports, the students will not clear the grounds voluntarily, so the police are necessary to remove them from the premises.
Keeping people safe ist another objective.
