As part of the 2024 pro-Palestinian protests on university campuses, a student- and faculty-built encampment was established in April 2024 on the City College campus. Less than a week after protests began at the encampment, on the night of April 30, 2024, the New York City Police Department was called on campus to dismantle the site, making 173 arrests.
