All students should have the right to state their beliefs. If that takes a protest so be it.
I don’t believe that have a right to interfere with the daily operations of the school, so don’t keep me from attending class or getting to my job.
I don’t believe that will be a popular take though.
Also if you want an institution to divest their holdings it makes a lot more impact if you know what the holdings are. Also understanding the rules and structures of the institutions portfolios so your protests make sense.
It’s actually really easy - there need to be clear and simple rules about where and when you can protest on campus, and these rules need to be enforced consistently. That’s it.
If a student group feels strongly enough about an issue that they deem it necessary to break the rules, then great, they can suffer the consequences for their actions and I would even admire their convictions (even if I disagree with their stance).
