This concludes our list of the 20 most important college campus protests and social movements in the United States.

Content: The university hosted students from other colleges and acted as the head of the demonstration. The location of Georgetown’s campus allowed students an easy march toward the White House, stopping at Secretary Kerry’s place of residence along the way. Students unfurled a mock oil spill in the middle of the street that drew national attention. Upon arrival at the White House, leaders spoke to rally the crowd regarding the consequences for carrying out the construction of the pipeline. While hundreds of students were arrested, Obama ended up vetoing the pipeline plan a year later. #6 – Protest Against Insensitivity
Claremont McKenna College

In November of 2015, Mary Spellman, Assistant Vice President and Dean of Students at Claremont McKenna College resigned in response to a protest that took place the day before. The protest centered on the idea that Dean Spellman had not provided a safe space on campus for students from marginalized backgrounds. She had earlier emailed a Latina student stating she would work to serve those who “don’t fit our CMC mold.” Spellman later apologized for the choice of words, but her remarks were a tipping point for students who had worked on pressing the campus for greater diversity among staff and faculty. #7 – Sexual Assault Awareness
