Student activists at various universities across the US have made headway in their protests against Israel's military campaign in Gaza. While some universities have agreed to certain concessions, such as scholarships for Palestinian students and calls for a cease-fire, none have outright pledged to divest from companies supporting Israel's occupation. The agreements have drawn criticism from various quarters, with some arguing that they do not go far enough in addressing the protesters' demands. However, these agreements represent a significant achievement for both the students and the university administrations, although their actual impact will depend on future negotiations and actions taken by the universities.
