More than 40 people were arrested at Yale University on Monday during pro-Palestinian protests, as student-led demonstrations that shook Columbia University and other campuses last week spread to the center of the school’s community in New Haven, Conn.

Demonstrators set up an encampment at Beinecke Plaza on campus Friday night. The group, calling itself Occupy Beinecke, demanded that the university disclose investments in military weapons manufacturers and divest from them.

“Yale, you have intimidated us, criminalized us, militarized our campus and failed to accept our demands,” Occupy Beinecke wrote on Instagram. “We will not stop, we will not rest until we have disclosure and divestment.”

Peter Salovey, Yale’s president, said in a message to students on Monday that those arrested “refused a final request to leave voluntarily.” On Monday, the president said that 60 people had been arrested, but a university spokesman revised that down to 48 on Tuesday, including 44 Yale students.
