Why are students protesting the war in Gaza at universities?

My thoughts are that the federal government has a bigger impact to the war in Gaza vs. any research agreement that a university has with Israel; so youd be best to go protest against the war.

Protests in front of the White House and congress are a perennial factor of life for DC and doesn't really raise national attention to the issue. The widespread university protests are targeted toward specific decisions made at the local level and have also garnered more media attention than if they had all gone through the expense of traveling to DC.
