This was in the NYT a few days ago. Here's the shared link (https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/12/us/uc-berkeley-palestinian-protest-free-speech.html?ugrp=u&unlocked_article_code=1.kk0.VvTH.Keck7F_0pyjb&smid=url-share) to the article:

Pro-Palestinian supporters disrupted a dinner for law students. There was a tussle over the microphone and conflicting claims of harm.
