Amid pro-Palestinian protests on the campuses of UNC Charlotte and UNC Chapel Hill, debate continues over their impact on student life.
At UNC Charlotte, school officials accused some protesters of vandalism and disruption of classes and final exams.
On WCNC's Flashpoint, two sides disagreed with each other.
"The students are, at UNC Charlotte, are actually setting an example for the entire world to see they have stood up and stood by their principles and are willing to risk their educational futures and their careers and their livelihoods to stand on the side of justice," Jena Awad, President of Charlotte United for Palestine, said.
Despite several questions, Awad declined to say what limits should be placed on protests.
On the other side, the Co-founder of North Carolina Coalition for Israel argued the protests at Chapel Hill fostered an unsafe and disruptive environment for students.
"There were some young people trying to graduate. They had their graduation uniforms on and they were trying to have nice photos in different parts of the quad. But they couldn't because the encampment was there. And it just didn't seem fair to these young people who were trying to graduate," Amy Rosenthal, Ph.D., said.

They had SEVEN THOUSAND GRADUATES there yesterday...and 35 walked out. Great job media keep on dividing us.
-
Honest headline: "Dozens walk out of Duke commencement to protest Jerry Seinfeld speech while thousands stay"
-
I feel like a few dozen in a group of thousands doesn't really constitute a walkout.
-
And Jerry does not give a flip about the 35 spoiled brats. No one but the media gives a flip about them.
-
He should have started the speech with: "So what's the deal with Palestinians?" 😆
-
Keep walking to Palestine. Make a difference. I believe in you.
-
We know who has the gender studies degree.
-
They should just stay home for good
-
Indoctrination in action.
-
They should be protesting about how they were duped into spending tens of thousands of dollars to get a worthless degree
-
So… they’re proving Seinfeld right?
-
1.7 million afghans refugees were deported out of Pakistan a few months ago but its not the "cool" protest to do right now.
-
These students are proving how useless their brainwashed education is. Their chaotic efforts bear no fruit whatsoever
-
I don’t even recognize this country anymore!
-
Dozens walked out really!!! That's not even news worthy.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
-
anyone find it odd that its only colleges and/or college kids where this is going on....anyone else notice that too?
-
block all media channels block block block
-
I'm surprised people are in this country if they have such pride for another one...
-
Damn, these kids are ignorant. Maybe these Universities shouldn't be handing out degrees, as they CLEARLY failed in their responsibility to EDUCATE!
-
Why is it that when I stand with my religious beliefs and ethnicity I’m called a bigoted racist……
