I’m not from the US so I’ve been finding this story a little hard to track. It’s so weird. I was on a Joe Rogan sub (I don’t usually follow) and commenters were saying that over 60% of arrests were ‘outsiders’. No idea where they go that stat.
They might be being deceptive/deceived. There have been some protests where their policy is to only arrest non-students, so counting people who were “arrested” will have a different sampling than the people who are protesting. I certainly haven’t seen any reputable claim that most protesters on campuses are non-students.

Never trust any statistics you haven’t personally forged
