Let's now take a look at the view around University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where rival protestors have clashed on campus, in what the university's vice chancellor called "horrific acts of violence".
See what that encampment looked like after the clashes below:
Police arrested at least a dozen protesters at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, Marc Lovicott, executive director of communications of the UW-Madison Police Department told reporters.
Law enforcement have now left the scene after spending several hours removing the encampment.
Lovicott says police arrived outside the university library before 07:00 local time (13:00 BST) and issued a series of warnings asking protesters to remove their tents. Police told protesters that camping is not allowed according to campus policy and state law.
After 15 minutes of repeated warnings, officers say they issued one final warning and told protesters there could be arrests if things turned violent.
Protesters encircled a small group of tents and at around 07:15 local time, university police and the City of Madison police moved in to remove the tents not encircled, police say.
Law enforcement then engaged with protesters as they pushed back.
"Some turned violent and it resulted in several arrests," Lovicott says.
As of 09:00 local time (15:00 BST), officers left the Library Mall. Protesters were heard cheering as they cleared the area.
