Latest Student Incident 

As GoLocal reported Monday, over 40 students were arrested protesting at Brown University. 

It marked the latest at the Ivy League school in Providence — on November 8, Brown arrested 20 students at University Hall after a day of protests against the United States and Israel’s policies.

After processing the arrested students with Providence Police — and utilizing taxpayer resources — Brown later dropped the charges. 

As GoLocal reported, Brown has repeatedly refused to answer if the University will reimburse the city for the Providence Police's staff time for the last round of arrests.
