Members of the faculty senate at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have voted "no confidence" in the chancellor.

Dozens of students walked out in protest, but commencement ceremonies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst went on without much issue over the weekend. It was the latest demonstration put on by pro-Palestinian students and faculty – weeks after another ended with over 130 people arrested and university leadership under fire.

University of Massachusetts Amherst officials faced tough questions from faculty and staff Tuesday. It happened during a special meeting that featured the chancellor and other leaders explaining what led up to over 130 people being arrested at a pro-Palestinian encampment last week.

The fallout of mass arrests at the University of Massachusetts Amherst continues after police broke up a pro-Palestinian encampment Tuesday. Now, the commencement speaker has withdrawn from the event over the crackdown.
