The president of the over 11,000 student body previously condemned Hamas' terrorist attack on Israel.

"The extent of this brutal violence and the staggering loss of innocent lives has continued to come to light, and I am horrified and grief-stricken," Granberg wrote in an October 11 press release. "In no uncertain terms, I condemn these acts of terrorism."

The president also highlighted the importance of "coming together and caring for one another" during the ongoing war.

"My message to our community stressed the importance of coming together and caring for one another, especially those who are Israeli, Jewish, Palestinian, Muslim, Arab, or connected to the region and this war," Granberg added. "I also reiterated our university’s expectations for acting and comporting ourselves when discussing or debating difficult topics. These messages of compassion and understanding remain the foremost priority for this university."

George Washington University's media department did not immediately reply to Fox News Digital's request on if any student protesters were arrested.
