Faculty members at the University of California, Los Angeles, have been actively supporting pro-Palestinian student protests. This support has included joining students in their encampment, providing logistical and emotional support, and even getting arrested alongside students. While some faculty have formal ties to pro-Palestinian groups, others are driven by a moral obligation to protect students' free speech and well-being. This has caused division among the faculties, with some criticizing the romanticization of the protests. At Columbia University, faculty members have shown support for the students by visiting the encampment, integrating the protests into academic lessons, and providing practical assistance. The faculty's involvement has led to clashes with law enforcement, with some members getting arrested. The consequences of these actions remain uncertain.
