Protests against the war in Gaza are roiling college campuses nationwide. That means schools with graduation ceremonies next month are facing the possibility of protests colliding with commencements. Students are demanding the schools cut financial ties with Israel and hundreds of students have been arrested on campuses from coast to coast. Protesters on both sides of the issue shouted and shoved each other during demonstrations Sunday at the University of California, Los Angeles. About 275 people were arrested on Saturday at campuses including Indiana University at Bloomington, Arizona State University and Washington University in St. Louis. Those have pushed the number of arrests nationwide to nearly 900 since April 18.

Dan Rather was synonymous with CBS News before the veteran anchorman left in bitterness in 2006, following a discredited report on then-President George W. Bush's military service. On Sunday, he returned to the network for the first time in 18 years. He's now 92 and still an active presence on social media, and he appeared for a “CBS Sunday Morning” interview tied to the Netflix debut this week of a documentary about his life. Rather told correspondent Lee Cowan that “without apology or explanation, I miss CBS. I've missed it since the day I left.” His feud with since-deposed CBS network boss Les Moonves made him a nonperson at the network.

Student protests over the Israel-Hamas war have popped up on an increasing number of U.S. college campuses following last week’s arrest of more than 100 demonstrators at Columbia University. The students are calling for universities to separate themselves from any companies that are advancing Israel’s military efforts in Gaza — and in some cases from Israel itself. Protests on many campuses have been orchestrated by coalitions of student groups. The groups largely act independently, though students say they’re inspired by peers at other universities.

Residents began sifting through the rubble after a tornado plowed through suburban Omaha, Nebraska, demolishing homes and businesses as it moved for miles through farmland and into subdivisions. People gathered Saturday morning in the streets in the Elkhorn area of Omaha amid the scattered remains of the homes, and Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen planned to tour the area later in the day. Some injuries were reported. But there were no immediate reports of fatalities as multiple tornadoes were reported in Nebraska and Iowa. The most destructive storm moved from a largely rural area into the suburbs of Omaha, a city of 485,000 people. The National Weather Service forecast for Saturday says tornadoes are possible in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Texas.
