LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM - 2024/05/15: Students are seen putting on banners at the Central St Martin campus at the University of the Arts London (UAL). Students from the University of the Arts London (UAL) are seen rallying on their campus while the university holds a discussion with the Vice Chancellor about its stance on the Israel-Gaza war. Later, the students moved to the Central Saint Martins campus and began an encampment, vowing to continue until their demands are met by the university. Since late April, students from prestigious universities across the UK have been joining this new wave of occupation and encampment on their campuses, inspired by similar actions in the US, to urge their universities to adopt a pro-Palestinian stance on the Israel-Gaza war.
