    The president of the University of Florida, Ben Sasse, addressed the continuous pro-Palestinian protests occurring on his college campus and others nationwide. He mentioned that although students have the right to protest peacefully, they cannot seize the entire university.

    Sasse stated on CNN’s “State of the Union” that the university will always support the freedom of speech and assembly while also enforcing time, place, and manner restrictions.

    He emphasized that individuals do not have the right to take over the entire university, engage in aggressive behavior towards law enforcement, barricade themselves in buildings, or disrupt commencement ceremonies.

    Sasse, a former senator from Nebraska, reiterated that protesters and other students are not permitted to create encampments on campus.

    He further mentioned that although the university protects the right to protest, camping on campus is not allowed, and the goal is not to arrest individuals but to ensure compliance with the rules.

    Sasse added that individuals can protest and attempt to persuade others, but building a camp is not allowed for anyone.

    The pro-Palestinian protests have been occurring across the country, resulting in arrests, the cancellation of commencement ceremonies, and the transition of in-person classes to online. The protests have received national attention due to the establishment of encampments on campuses nationwide. commencement ceremonies and moving in-person classes to online. The demonstrations have garnered national attention as protesters have set up encampments on campuses throughout the nation.

    Sasse noted that officials are not going to “negotiate with people who scream the loudest” amid protests that have occurred on the University of Florida’s campus. He also added that the commencement ceremonies on his campus have not been disrupted.

    “We believe in the right to free speech. We believe in the right to free assembly, and you can try to persuade people,” he said. “But what you see happening on so many campuses across the country is instead of drawing the line in speech and action, a lot of universities bizarrely give the most attention and most voice to the smallest, angriest group, and it’s just not what we’re going to do here.”
