Brown University will impose disciplinary sanctions following "unacceptable conduct" at a pro-Palestinian demonstration on Friday.
In a letter to the community, the university described actions that included physically blocking a vehicle and screaming profanity at individuals.
The university says protesters took part in threatening and intimidating behavior against administrators, members of Brown's governing board and staff workers.
The Brown Divest Coalition says the letter is an attempt to attack and defame student protestors holding the Corporation accountable to their decision to continue to invest in "companies enabling genocide and apartheid."
